Originally opened bug #14252 but this bug for Ansible 2.0.0.1, but this still appears to be in Ansible 2.0.1.0. It doesn’t matter whether the first host is remote or local connection. The first host will fail but subsequent hosts will still attempt the next task instead of aborting. Wasn’t sure if I should file another bug on this or not.

Ansible host: RHEL6  
Ansible version 2.0.1.0 (pip installation)  
Ansible Clients RHEL l5/6

inventoryfile:

[alpha]  
piansiapst01 ansible\_connection=local  
dgitapp01

If we need to file a bug on this, please tell me where. It is important to me that this feature work.

I cannot reproduce the issue in 2.0.1, when I hit A it exits the play.

I just upgraded my Ansible to follow development yesterday after seeing a bug report that had been closed with a patch. I’ll test again when I’m on campus Thursday.

Thanks!
