Ansible 2.20 has deprecated the use of Ansible facts as variables. For
example, ansible_distribution is now deprecated in favor of
ansible_facts["distribution"]. This is due to making the default
setting INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS=false. For now, this will create WARNING
messages, but in Ansible 2.24 it will be an error.

See https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/porting_guides/porting_guide_core_2.20.html#inject-facts-as-vars

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

  • In tests/tests_include_vars_from_parent.yml you still use facts['distribution'] in the varfiles expression while the surrounding comments now refer to ansible_facts[...]; consider switching that to ansible_facts['distribution'] for consistency with the new access pattern and INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS=false.
