[OTTER] Avaliability of variables from multiple roles

[Adam1]

Hi,
I have trouble accessing variables from different roles. I have two roles defined:

1. Role1.
   a. It has a TestVariable variable of Value1.
   b. Has a configuration plan:

Ensure-Directory c:\$TestVariable;

2. Role2
   a. It has a TestVariable variable of Value2.
   b. Has a configuration plan:

Ensure-Directory c:\$TestVariable;

After assigning both roles to the server, only the directory from Role1 is created. I would expect two directories to be created.
Is this correct?

This is the execution output:

hi @Adam1; thank you for the detailed reproduction instructions.

You are correct, this is indeed a bug, and it will be fixed in the next maintenance release (scheduled for Friday) as OT-381. If you'd like a pre-release, we can easily share one to you as well!
