How is defined ansible_os_family?

[braveadmin]

in the main inside tasks there is a include_vars: "{{ ansible_os_family }}.yml" but i can't find this variable anywhere and indeed the deploy is failing. where can i find it?

many thanks

@braveadmin - That is one of Ansible's global vars that's set up during the 'gather_facts' operation. Do you have gather_facts: no in your playbook? If so, that variable may never be set.

Also, what's the specific error you're getting? It could be something else too...

Thanks Geerling, the problem was solved with gather_facts variable, i just forgot to respond :)
