This seems fishy to me. Wouldn't you expect an item=a and an item=b line?
Does item=a,b imply that it's checking to see if the string "a,b" is in
test (which it isn't)?
Indeed, if you replace 'yum: name="{{item}}"' with 'debug: var=item, you
get different results:
TASK: [do it]
*****************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=a) => {
"item": "a"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=b) => {
"item": "b"
}
skipping: [localhost] => (item=c)
Is it surprising that debug treats the items as a list elements, but yum
treats them as a comma-separated string of elements?
