My targets are low powered embedded gateways running Yocto Project Linux, so I implement some speed-up with facts. One of the facts is a list of packages installed, this greatly speeds up an Ansible run as I do not need to run individual opkg tasks if the package is in the package list fact. However, I am running into a caching issue. If I install or remove a package, I need to update the facts. I can do this at the end of a run in a handler. However the caching seems to ignore my attempt to refresh the cache with: - name: Reload ansible_local setup: filter=ansible_local It seems to me that this is a bug. The documentation is not too clear on the interaction between setup_module and caching. Or am I missing a way to force a reload? Thanks.
