As for ansible 1.7.2, variables are not expanded on the include statement.

You can use:

- include: ubuntu_mongodb.yml
  when: ansible_distribution == 'Ubuntu'

Or:

- include: ubuntu_mongodb.yml
  when: ansible_distribution in ['Ubuntu']

Keep in mind that you can be more generic using the ansible_os_family variable. For one ubuntu box, the contents of those variables are:

  • ansible_os_family: "Debian"
  • ansible_distribution: "Ubuntu"
