Debug message does not display when in a loop

[marc-ledent]

The "debug" module does not display anything when in a loop.
Example:

- hosts: all
  gather_facts: False
  tasks:
    - name: message loop
      debug:
        msg: "Hello {{item}}"
      with_items:
        - alice
        - bob

displays:

[16:20:18] message loop | some_host | SUCCESS | 45ms
{                                                 
  - msg: All items completed                      
}

We should see something like this:

ok: [localhost] => (item=alice) => {
    "msg": "Hello alice"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=bob) => {
    "msg": "Hello bob"
}
ok: [127.0.0.1] => (item=alice) => {
    "msg": "Hello alice"
}
ok: [127.0.0.1] => (item=bob) => {
    "msg": "Hello bob"
}

Yes, but we don't...

Could you try the content of branch octplane/debug-loop-display?

I've tried with content of branch octplane/debug-loop-display without success.

Hello people,

I have pushed a fix:

• You can either call ansible-playbook with -vv
• Or add dump_loop_items = True to ansible.cfg

The playbook test-18.yml is a test-case
