I noticed something odd today when looking at ansible output. Most tasks output looks like:

> TASK [test\_role : task without rolename]

Where the role name, “test\_role” is in inserted in front of the task.

However if the task contains the role name, it’s not inserted:

> TASK [task with rolename test\_role]

Is that a bug or a feature?

It was a bug, it was fixed, then it showed up again, and now it’s fixed again, and now we have tests for it.
