local_action together with run_once?

Hi there,

is there any way to run a local_action task only once?
I tried the following but it doesn’t work:

`

  • name: gather public keys to be installed
    local_action: shell cat public-keys/*.pub
    run_once: true
    changed_when: False
    sudo: False
    register: keys
    `

Is this possible at all?

Cheers
Luka

(A) what version of Ansible are you using? This feature is new in 1.7 - I’m going to verify this is referenced as such in the docs now, since that’s come up before.

(B) If you are on the development branch, when you say it didn’t work, what does that mean?
