When playbooks are failing, Ansible is kind enough to write a temporary script which contains the list of hosts that haven’t been completed because of some failures in one of the playbooks.

However, what I’m somehow missing is a list of notifications which have been called but not yet executed. It would be really great if the PlayBook summary would show a list of all those “not yet executed” notifications so that the maintainer can decide on what to do about them. Because next time you run the playbook, the same notifications may not be called again because the circumstances may have changed since.

Any ideas?

Yep.

perhaps something like --force-handlers=“name 1, name 2, name3” and also make it do --force-handlers=@list\_of\_handlers.txt

Please file a github ticket so we do not forget this idea!
