Hi there,

I am not sure if it changed as a feature or if it is a bug so I am not opening an issue on github.

The thing is:

main.yml

`

- name: deploy  
hosts: all  
gather\_facts: True  
tasks:
- block:
- include: file\_to\_fail.yml  
#- file: path=/tmp/file1 state=directory
- file: path=/tmp/file3 state=directory  
rescue:
- file: path=/tmp/file2 state=directory  
#any\_errors\_fatal: yes  
`

file\_to\_fail.yml

`

- file: path=/tmp/file1 state=directory  
`

I am testing making the “/tmp/file1” file creation fail.

So, the thing is that in current version (2.0.0) if it fails in the include the rescue part is called and the “tmp/file2” is created. But, with “devel” branch it does not. It works if instead of include I specify the task there (see commented line), but not with the include.
