Yes your are right but the below task does not give the hostname of
"pocansibletest" and gives the hostname of the localhost itself in ansible
v6. But the same works perfectly on ansible v2.7 without any changes to
playbook.
- name: Test host name with delegation
delegate_to: "{{vm_name}}"
shell: hostname
register: name_with_del
The requirement for me is to run many tasks on localhost and delegate some
tasks to remote hosts using delegate_to directive. But with ansible v6 its
always executing on localhost and I see inappropriate behaviour and
failures.
