vars_file is no longer working?

[iuriaranda]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the out parameter vars_file is being ignored at the moment. Only vars is used. Am I just missing something?

If that's the case I think it should be either implemented back, or removed from the documentation.

I guess you gave up waiting a while ago 😛, but I just ran into this too. In case it's useful to others, my workaround was to use a load_var step:

- load_var: ansible-vars
  file: vars/vars.json
- put: ansible
  params:
    vars: ((.:ansible-vars))
    # etc.
