From 4df610f9611a02591de83d404cb83a424bb273fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adam Miller Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2017 12:44:44 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] order agnostic child group definition in inventory Previously if a child's group vars section was defined before the child group itself, an edge case would be hit where the state of the pending declaration would process as var and therefore drop the child pending declaration context. This would result in the group vars defined for the parent group being out of scope for the child group. Example: [web:children] appnodes proxies [web:vars] deployment_type=prod [appnodes:vars] foo_var=true [appnodes] appnodes[1:3].example.com [proxies:vars] bar_var=true [proxies] proxies[1:3].example.com Previously the deployment_type variable would be out of scope for both the appnodes and proxies groups. This patch fixes that.
