Hi all,

I was hoping if you can help me with an issue I encountered while running my playbook.  
The playbook worked successfully until I rebased my code and now it appears to stop running tasks from a specific block (see [1]).  
It appears to be related to a change which was introduced in [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/33595](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/33595)

Once I revert it or apply the relevant changes (see [2]) it runs smoothly as before.

I’m not sure if I maybe declared my tasks wrong, if so, I will be glad for your guidance how to fix that in my playlist.

My code using the block can be found here:  
[https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-disaster-recovery/blob/master/tasks/recover\_engine.yml](https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-disaster-recovery/blob/master/tasks/recover_engine.yml)

The tags which calls it can be found here:  
[https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-disaster-recovery/blob/master/tasks/main.yml](https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-disaster-recovery/blob/master/tasks/main.yml)

[1] Output before I rebased, (before #[33595](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/33595) pull request was applied):  
[http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/547450](http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/547450)

Output after rebase (You can notice that no task is running and the playbook finished immediately:  
[http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/547449](http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/547449)

[2] [http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/547617](http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/547617)

Thanks
