If you want to output a message use the debug module, not “command: echo”.

`

- name: echo files  
debug:  
msg: “{{ item.path | basename }}”  
loop: “{{ files\_found.files }}”

`

`

TASK [echo files] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
ok: [localhost] =\> (item=None) =\> {  
“msg”: “vault.zip”  
}
