Its not able to find the vault file.. I tried placing it in group_vars as well as group_vars/all but it couldnt

[@snipercan]

clear and concise but I think it would be also helpful to have a CI/CD example. we can not simple place password file in repository and we can not enter password in a running pipeline

[@RahulWagh]

I truly agree with you but the video was to focus only on the concept and yes offcourse we can not put the password file inside the repository

[@hardikrastogi103]
