Ansible Configuration:

Can be reproduced with default configuration.

Environment:

Can be reproduced on CentOS 5.9 as well as Mac OS X.

Summary:

In Ansible 2.0 RC1 ansible-playbook --tags <sometag> --list-tasks lists all tasks in the playbook even if they would not be run with that tag. It also lists a bunch of "meta" tasks. In 1.9.x this works as expected.

Steps To Reproduce:

Playbook:

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
    - debug: msg="tag1"
      tags: tag1

    - debug: msg="tag2"
      tags: tag2

Expected Results:

Output from Ansible 1.9.4:

nikut@dhcp98:~/tmp$ ansible-playbook test-tags.yml --tags tag1 --list-tasks

playbook: /tmp/test-tags.yml

  play #1 (localhost):  TAGS: []
    debug msg="tag1"    TAGS: [tag1]

Actual Results:

nikut@dhcp98:~/tmp$ ansible-playbook test-tags.yml --tags tag1 --list-tasks

playbook: test-tags.yml

  PLAY: #1
    tasks:
      TASK: meta 
      TASK: debug msg=tag1
      TASK: debug msg=tag2
      TASK: meta 
      TASK: meta
