what am I missing here?? unarchive + folded scalar vs structured map

Hi -
This is driving me crazy.

If I run this, ansible honors the “creates” and properly skips if the specified directory exists.

  • name: copy and unpack form2
    unarchive: >
    src={{ jdks_available[item.jdk_ver][‘java_archive’] }}
    dest={{ jdk_install_dir }}/
    copy=yes
    creates={{ jdk_install_dir }}/{{ jdks_available[item.jdk_ver][‘java_dir’] }}
    with_items: jdks

If I run this, ansible seems to ignore “creates” and ALWAYS performs the unarchive. In vv output I see it doing a recursive analysis of all files in the target dir and sees ownership is different, whereas in “form2” above it does not.

  • name: copy and unpack form1
    unarchive:
    src: “{{ jdks_available[item.jdk_ver][‘java_archive’] }}”
    dest: “{{ jdk_install_dir }}/”
    copy: yes
    creates: “{{ jdk_install_dir }}/{{ jdks_available[item.jdk_ver][‘java_dir’] }}”
    with_items: jdks

[ansible@test-ansible tasks]$ ansible --version
ansible 1.8.2
configured module search path = None

Any ideas?
