I've written this little playbook to show the problem:
- name: test become
hosts: localhost
serial: 1
tasks:
- name: create test directories
file: path=/tmp/test/{{ item }} state=directory
with_items:
- one
- two
delegate_to: localhost
become: true
It's not very realistic because the delegated host is the same as the
target host but the problem is the same with any target hosts.
Make a /tmp/test directory with root's permissions only.
If you run this playbook with a non-root user but who has sudo rights, it
will fail on the second item ("two"). The "one" directory will be created
correctly.
