All devstack-tempest jobs are failing due to 'gabbi_tempest_path' is undefined

[Ghanshyam Mann]

devstack-tempest job has the gabbi_tempest_path var set for gabbit-tempest plugin[1]. Which is only set by the gabbit-tempest plugin jobs[2].

With new ansible version 2.7, all jobs derived from devstack-tempest fail due to undefined var.

Error:

The field 'environment' has an invalid value, which includes an undefined variable. The error was: 'gabbi_tempest_path' is undefined

The error appears to have been in '/var/lib/zuul/builds/d500cd5dcb3a42e68e9219abe2a5bb4d/untrusted/project_5/git.openstack.org/openstack/tempest/roles/setup-tempest-run-dir/tasks/main.yaml': line 1, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

- name: Set tempest as owner of Tempest run folder

Is this still an issue? It's quite old, I kind of doubt that the jobs would be broken for such a long time :)
