I have some variables in my playbook as follows:
---
first_var:
param1: value1
param2: value2
And I want to call these parametres from the commandline as follows:
ansible-playbook -i inventory site.yml -e 'first_var.param1=newvalue1'
But doesn't work, am I missing something?
You can do this only if you modify hash-behaviour to merge (this can potentialy brake your playbooks).
Also for this to work, you need to pass extra variables as JSON object, this will not work for -e var=value.
Example command line:
ANSIBLE_HASH_BEHAVIOUR=merge ansible-playbook -i inventory -e "{'first_var':{'param1':'newvalue1'}}" site.yml
