Why do i need to run it wiht -vvv?
should my playbook show me the output?
It's outputting your items list, as you have msg on the list if you are looking to put the info you need to use a register then either var or message that register
what line am i missing to output the information? without using -vvvv
You have to use register module and get that output from debug module.
