I am trying to make a playbook that loops over the number of files in a directory and then use those files in another playbook.
My playbook as it is now:

---

- name: Run playbooks for Raji's testing
 register: scripts
 roles:
 - prepare_edge.yml
 - prepare_iq.yml
 - scriptor.yml
 with_fileglob: ~/ansible/test_scripts/*
~

When I run this it doesn't work, I've tried "register: scripts" to make a variable to reference inside scriptor.yml but again the playbook fails. Any advice or help you can provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

P.S. I am super new to ansible

here is the scriptor.yml

---

- hosts: all
 tasks:

 - name: Create directory
 command: mkdir /some/path/

 - name: If file is a playbook
 copy:
 src: " scripts "
 dest: /some/path/
 when: " scripts " == "*.yml"

 - name: if file is a script
 shell: . $ scripts 
 when: " scripts " == "*.sh"

P.S.S prepare_edge.yml and prepare_iq.yml don't reference anything and just need to be called in the loop before scriptor.yml

here is the error:

ERROR! 'register' is not a valid attribute for a Play

The error appears to have been in '/Users/JGrow33/ansible/raji_magic_playbook.yml': line 3, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:


- name: Run playbooks for Raji's testing
 ^ here

There error message you're getting is telling you that you can't run register in a Playbook.

You can accomplish what you're looking for by doing something like the following in your scriptor.yml file:

- hosts: all
 tasks:

 - name: Create directory
 command: mkdir /some/path/

 - name: If file is a playbook
 copy:
 src: " item "
 dest: /some/path/
 with_fileglob: ~/ansible/test_scripts/*.yml

 - name: if file is a script
 shell: . $ item 
 with_fileglob: copy:
 src: " item "
 dest: /some/path/
 with_fileglobe: ~/ansible/test_scripts/*.sh
