Ansible 'with_items' doesn't pass over to Ansible role

0

I can't figure this out. I have host_vars that I want to pass into my Ansible role. I can iterate through the items in my playbook, but it doesn't work if I give the item into my Ansible role. My host inventory looks like this:

hosts:
 host_one:
 domain: one
 ip: 172.18.1.1
 connection:
 - connection_name: two
 connection_ip: 172.18.1.2

 - connection_index: three
 local_hub_ip: 172.18.1.3

 host_two:
 domain: two
 ip: 172.18.1.2

For instance,this works correctly:

 tasks:
 - debug:
 msg: "item.connection_name"
 with_items:
 - " connection "

will correctly print out the connections.connection_name for each connection I have, "two" and "three". However, if I try to pass it into a role:

 tasks:
 - name: Adding several connections
 include_role:
 name: connection-create
 with_items:
 - " connection "

in which my role "connection-create" uses a variable called "connection_name" I get a:

FAILED! => "msg": "'connection_name' is undefined"

Why doesn't this work?

The loop with_items: " connection " creates the loop variable item. The included role can use

item.connection_name
item.connection_ip

The loop variable can be renamed, if needed. See Loop control

  I see, the issue was in my role I had another "with_items" task so I had to restructure it so I could use the 'item.connection_name'
