Get parent directory in Ansible?
<p>Is there a way to evaluate a relative path in Ansible?</p>

<pre><code>tasks:
  - name: Run docker containers
    include: tasks/dockerup.yml src_code='..'
</code></pre>

<p>Essentially I am interested in passing the source code path to my task. It happens that the source code is the parent path of <code>{{ansible_inventory}}</code> but there doesn't seem to be anything to accomplish that out of the box.</p>

<p>---- further info ----</p>

<p>Project structure:</p>

<pre><code>myproj
  app
  deploy
    deploy.yml
</code></pre>

<p>So I am trying to access <code>app</code> from <code>deploy.yml</code>.</p>
