I have created several Python scripts, including a main.py script that sequentially runs 4 other Python scripts.

I need to deploy and run them using Ansible. The issue is that I can’t use ansible.builtin.script because only main.py is used and not the others, so I’m using ansible.builtin.command.

My problem is that I’m using a config file variables.json, which I first populate with ansible.builtin.template, and then it’s sent to the files directory of my role, where the Python scripts are located. But every time, in the return code (rc) of my Python script, I get “undefined variables”. I think my scripts can’t “see” the config file.

Can you help me, please?

Thank you! 🙂
