[ansible-project] How to only play tasks with specific tags in playbook

Hi all,

How do you play just the tasks with set tags in your playbook? From the
command line you would do something like:
ansible-playbook -i staging deploy.yml --tags "do_stop, do_health_check"

I would expect do be able to do the same from the playbook like:
- hosts: somehosts
roles:
- { role: connect, tags: [ 'do_stop', 'do_health_check' ] }

However this is not working and it plays all the tasks in my role.

Regards,

Brendon

Pass the "--tags" option to ansible-playbook to run only the tags you
want to run.

What you did above, BTW, is apply the tag "do_stop" and
"do_health_check" to every task in your role. This isn't what you want,
I'm guessing.

Thanks all. I know that I can call tags from the command line and that
my example will apply new tags in my playbook. But to me a playbook by
design should be able to run all the tasks that you need to run by calling
the tags you have set in tasks/*.yml. Instead we are now presented with 2
options:
1. Write a wrapper script (oh no)
2. Further dismantle tasks into separate yml files so that you can call
these with include in your playbook.

Surely a playbook by design should be a playbook?

Many thanks.
