--tags doesn't work with meta: flush_handlers

Archives Ansible Project

Setup:

— myrole/main.yml —

  • include: somefile.yml
    tags: configure

----somefile.yml—

  • some command
    notify: handlerx

  • meta: flush_handlers

— myrole/handlers/main.yml ----

  • handlerx:
    tags: configure

Result:

  • handlerx is not fired with the flush_handlers meta command. The playbook is failing, so I can’t tell if the handlers get flushed at the end of it or not…

This used to work pre 1.9, in the 1.8.x build.

Anyone else see this behavior? Suggestions?

Also tried adding always tags to the handers, No change there.
