This was requested to keep playbooks short. You can now do this:
tasks:
- action: command foo
- action: command foo
- action: command foo
You can still specify a name if you want to give a more human readable description, if not provided, the module and arguments will be used for the name.
Handlers still require a name.
I’m also in the process of upgrading playbook error handling when things are missing, so that you get English errors and not tracebacks. Like if you leave off ‘action’, it will now explain the situation, I intend to do other similar things if major important parts are missing or are hashes versus lists, or lists versus strings, etc.
