[bob@student-node playbooks]$ cat app_install.yaml

[bob@student-node playbooks]$

FAILS - Replaced the hardcoded list of packages in “app_install.yaml” playbook to use the values from the “app_list” variable defined in the inventory file?

OK - Run the playbook to make sure it works fine.

Comment:
Is this a good idea in a folder name: :sparkles: : “%e2%9c%a8” ?

#2

It is both deprecated and the lab check fails.

First check fails because it looks for the following 2 strings on the same line “with_items” and “{{app_list}}”.
I was able to work around this odd check by using an in-line list
e.g. with_items: [“{{ app_list }}”]
I still got the depreciation warning, but was able to get both green checks.
