Loops and Includes
``````````````````
In 2.0 you are able to use with_ loops and task includes (but not playbook includes), this adds the ability to loop over the set of tasks in one shot.
There are a couple of things that you need to keep in mind, a included task that has it's own with_ loop will overwrite the value of the special `item` variable.
So if you want access to both the include's `item` and the current task's `item` you should use `set_fact` to create a alias to the outer one.::
- include: test.yml
with_items:
- 1
- 2
- 3
in test.yml::
- set_fact: outer_loop="{{item}}"
- debug: msg="outer item={{outer_loop}} inner item={{item}}"
with_items:
- a
- b
- c
