Since which version has that been deprecated and when did the behaviour change?
I'm running 1.4.5 and cannot get rid of the deprecation warnings because
"with_first_found", in 1.4.5, cannot iterate over a file not found.
Expected behaviour mentioned by Serge "then if no match, the task would get
skipped."
Observed behaviour when there is no template named etc-hosts.backend.j2, then
it crashes with:
fatal: [backend] => One or more undefined variables: 'item' is undefined
If there is no alternative construct that works in 1.4.5, then there is a
problem in the backward-compatibility period because the deprecation cannot be
fixed before upgrade.
