Ansible cron module --check --diff query

Hi all

I’ve a query about running a playbook with --check --diff . For some reason when running against a playbook with a cron task in (where we are amending an existing Ansible created crontab with new running hours/minutes), the cron task shows as being skipped and no diff is shown.

A subsequent live run updates the target host. Is this expected behaviour?

Cheers

The cron module does not implement or support check mode. Not all modules do, and when running with --check, Ansible will skip such modules.
