Role dependencies and inheritance value

[PhilippeC.]

Hi Folks,

I have to assign all the roles to a server despite there are dependencies in order to get a variable assign.

Exemple:

• role A : $VALUE=TEST
• role B : depend on role A
• role C : depend on role B + Server

The value $VALUE is empty and the configuration in role C failed.
If I have this configuration, it is working

• role A : $VALUE=TEST, + Server
• role B : depend on role A + server
• role C : depend on role B + server

I think the inheritance should work as there are dependencies in the role, but I might be wrong ... but it must be definitively work like this :-)

Best regards
Philippe

hi Philippe,

I don't fully understand...

Are you asking if a configuration variable from a dependency role of the current role will be available at runtime?

If so, that's not currently supported, but you could submit a feature request if you can provide more details on how it could be used, etc :)

Hi Alana

More or less it is what I am looking for.

a configuration variable from a dependency role of the current role is available at runtime

I will try to explain it in a better way for a request feature

Thank you :)
