ansible does not use ansible.builtin.include_vars in pre_tasks and use only roles:

[gilkatz64]

The following playbook runs without any problem from command line

• name: testing group_vars hosts: localhost connection: local gather_facts: false pre_tasks:

  • name: include services yaml files ansible.builtin.include_vars: dir: group_vars/services

  roles:

  • role: print-test

but when I run this from packer ansible skip pre_tasks section we are using packer 1.8.3 since we are also using chef provisioner
