Pass a file and variables through --extra-vars

Question

I see that files can supply variables to Ansible through the command line using --extra-vars "@some_file.json", or variables can be set in strings as key=value. Is it possible to do both? And if so, what's the syntax?

Answer 1

Specify both but separately.

--extra-vars "@some_file.json" --extra-vars "key=value" 

Answer 2

If you are using it with vagrant then here is the answer:

  config.vm.provision :ansible do |ansible| 
    ansible.playbook = "playbook.yml"
    ansible.extra_vars = { ansible_ssh_user: 'vagrant' }
  end

hope this will help you.
