Looks like I can't edit posts here for some reason.
*Correction:*
dependencies:
- { role: roleA, tags: roleA, roleB }
or at least that's the way I want it to work.
The only purpose for this is to ensure that dependent roles for any of the
tags I run also run. The only other option I can see is to add every
single dependency as a tag to my dependent roles. Like this:
playbook.yml:
roles:
role: roleA
tags: roleA <- for lack of a better name
role: roleB
tags:
- roleA
- roleC
- roleD
... potentially very long list of tags
So I can then run any of the roles and know that roleB will always run.
This however is very unwieldy and seems very unintuitive. There must be a
better way.
