Yum packages being skipped using Ansible 2.0.2.0

So I am seeing something rather strange when using Ansible 2.0.2.0…If I execute a play with the following tasks the second one is skipped. However if I run the same play using Ansible 2.0.1.0 it runs as expected. Anyone else experienced anything similar? Thoughts?

  • name: installing epel repo (RedHat)
    yum:
    name: “epel-release”
    state: present
    when: >
    ansible_os_family == “RedHat” and
    ansible_distribution != “Fedora”
  • name: installing ansible pre-reqs (RedHat)
    yum:
    name: “{{ item }}”
    state: present
    with_items:
  • libffi-devel
  • openssl-devel
  • python-crypto
  • python-devel
  • python-setuptools
    when: >
    ansible_os_family == “RedHat” and
    ansible_distribution != “Fedora”

When using Ansible 2.0.2.0

TASK [installing epel repo (RedHat)] *******************************************

ok: [node0]

TASK [installing ansible pre-reqs (RedHat)] ************************************

skipping: [node0] => (item=[u’libffi-devel’, u’openssl-devel’, u’python-crypto’, u’python-devel’, u’python-setuptools’])

When using Ansible 2.0.1.0

TASK [installing epel repo (RedHat)] *******************************************
ok: [node0]
TASK [installing ansible pre-reqs (RedHat)] ************************************
ok: [node0] => (item=[u’libffi-devel’, u’openssl-devel’, u’python-crypto’, u’python-devel’, u’python-setuptools’])

Thanks!

You are absolutely correct. Thanks for that. I was just heading over there to check for similar bugs as well…Will contribute to that issue as seeing it as well…
