Hi,

I’m having some issues with ansible 2.0.0-stable (b69942a), where --start-at-task can’t find the task with that name.

I think a clue may be in --list-tasks, which doesn’t list task names for tasks defined as meta:

[output from --list-tasks]:

PLAY: #5

tasks:

TASK: meta

TASK: include tags=search,es_worker

TASK: meta

When I run with --start-at-task for the last failed task from a run w/o --start-at-task, I see nothing run:

PLAY ***************************************************************************

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************

[return to console]

Posting per the suggestion in this (closed) bug report, which seems to need reopening:

Has anyone else come across this?

Thanks!
