kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Fable 5 1371d01a4f fix(service-lookup): resolve out-of-play keys via the static role registry
The sys-service-loader iterates the role-wide static service order, so it
asks the service lookup about keys (e.g. the css alias of cdn) that the
play-local registry built from applications does not contain. The lookup
raised and killed the bootstrap play on every distro.

Fall back to the registry read from roles_dir, the same source the
loader iterates, so every loader-visible key resolves with its provider
role and play-computed flags (false when no consumer is deployed).
Canonical aliases aggregate their primary key's consumer flags. A term
unknown to both registries still raises.

Custom Lookup Plugins for Infinito.Nexus

This directory contains custom Ansible lookup plugins used within the Infinito.Nexus project.

When to Use a Lookup Plugin

  • Load external data: Use lookups to retrieve data from files, APIs, databases, environment variables, or other external sources.
  • Context-aware data access: Lookups can access the full Ansible context, including inventory, facts, and runtime variables.
  • Generate dynamic lists: Lookups are often used to build inventories, secrets, or host lists dynamically.

Examples

# Load the contents of a file as a variable
my_secret: "{{ lookup('file', '/path/to/secret.txt') }}"

# Retrieve a list of hostnames from an external source
host_list: "{{ lookup('infinito_inventory_hosts', 'group_name') }}"

When not to Use a Lookup Plugin

  • If you only need to manipulate or transform data already available in your playbook, prefer a filter plugin instead.
