ansible.builtin.import_tasks – Import a task list
Note
This module is part of ansible-core
and included in all Ansible
installations. In most cases, you can use the short
module name
import_tasks
even without specifying the collections:
keyword.
However, we recommend you use the FQCN for easy linking to the
module documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have
the same module name.
New in version 2.4: of ansible.builtin
Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
---|---|
The name of the imported file is specified directly without any other option. Most keywords, including loops and conditionals, only applied to the imported tasks, not to this statement itself. If you need any of those to apply, use ansible.builtin.include_tasks instead. |
Notes
Note
This is a core feature of Ansible, rather than a module, and cannot be overridden like a module.
