Ansible - list tasks in role

Question

Is it possible to list the tasks in an Ansible role?

i.e. other than just grepping for - name, is there an out-of-the-box way of doing this?

Answer 1

Create a simple playbook specifying the role and execute ansible-playbook with --list-tasks option.

But this will not list the tasks in dynamically included files.

Answer 2

You need to identify the play to display. ex:

ansible-playbook --list-tasks my-play.yml

And tasks in roles imported with include_role will not be displayed. As @techraf said, this is dynamically loaded.
