I'm having issues defining environment variables at playbook level. According to the docs it should be possible.
$ ansible --version 1.7.1 $ ansible-playbook -i staging deploy.yml ERROR: environment is not a legal parameter at this level in an Ansible Playbook
Here's the playbook simplified:
--- - hosts: app user: web environment: PATH: "{{ path_append }}:{{ ansible_env.PATH }}" tasks: - ... - ...
Just to make sure, I tried setting it without the variables, and the result was equal.
Moving the environment-definition inside the tasks works.
