Did something change with how handlers are invoked?

Today’s git pull of devel and all my handlers that need to run as root are failing.

$ ansible --version

  • name: update grub2

RUNNING HANDLER [grub2 : update grub2] *****************************************

Changing the handler to

  • name: update grub2
    command: “{{ update_grub2_command }}”
    register: r
    failed_when: r.rc != 0
    changed_when: False
    become: yes
    tags: grub2

Fixes the problem.

Yes, potentially as part of the include_role/dynamic role changes made in devel recently. Could you please open a bug in regards to this?
