Perhaps install the packages you need instead of a group, or ignore the

I want to rely on the state to (conditionally) execute other things so
ignoring is not an option. Installing all the packages individually
does work even if it is rather clumsy and not very maintenance
friendly. :-)
Perhaps you can use a 'register' in your task to get the results which
can then be used as a condition in a 'when' statement in the next task?
Here's the content of a register var when a group is already installed:
TASK: [debug var=yum_results] ***
ok: [test.local] => {
"yum_results": {
"changed": true,
"invocation": {
"module_args": "name='@development' state=latest",
"module_name": "yum"
},
"msg": "",
"rc": 0,
"results": [
"No packages marked for update\n"
]
}
}
In the next task use a 'when' condition that "No packaged marked for
update" should be <what you need>:
- name: next task
yum: name=otherpackage state=latest
when: yum_results.results.find('No packages marked for update') = -1
The 'when' statement is untested and just to give an idea. More here:
