Dear list,

I noticed the following behaviour with ansible 2.1.1.0

the following play:
`

  • hosts: all
    become: true

tasks:

  • name: Install required packages
    yum: name={{ item }} state=latest update_cache=yes
    with_items:
  • donotexist-1.2

`

output:
`

$ ansible-playbook -i myinventory yum.yml
