We have tests for this and i just tested manually, become: true on a task does work. Tried with your task (supplying my own values for the vars) and it works the same, putting it on the task, the play, a block, role or command line. The only way i get it to 'not work' is setting ansible_become: false , but that makes them ALL not work, not just the task level become.
I cannot tell from the email as it breaks formatting, but my guess would be that it is set to the task. -- ---------- Brian Coca (he/him/yo) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
