[ansible-project] can i use a ansible.cfg var in a playbook?

[Mauro Nigrele]

Hi!
I need to access the *roles_path* var which is configured in my
*~/.ansible.cfg*. I'm using this path because we have a main git repository
with a lot of roles to use in our playbooks, so every developer can
checkout this repo in any locations and with a local playbook we create the
".ansible.cgf" file so ansible can find automatically these roles without
problem.

So, until here all was wonderful but recently i was trying to use this
roles_path in a playbook for share this path with a volume in docker, and i
can't find how to do it. Any idea about this?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this helps, but you can specify the roles directory using
environment variable $ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH. I don't know if you could set
this from within a playbook, though. We set this, and others, from a
wrapper script.

Thanks Paul, i'll try this workaround, but i still thinking that must be a
way to access this vars, since ansible is using it internally.
