Try SpotterImport a role into a play
| "added in version" 2.4 of ansible.builtin"
Authors: Ansible Core Team (@ansible)
pipInstall with pip install ansible-core==2.16.5
Much like the C(roles:) keyword, this task loads a role, but it allows you to control when the role tasks run in between other tasks of the play.
Most keywords, loops and conditionals will only be applied to the imported tasks, not to this statement itself. If you want the opposite behavior, use M(ansible.builtin.include_role) instead.
Does not work in handlers.
