The check mode for the user module does not work and still makes changes to SunOS/Solaris hosts.

Using ansible 1.3.4

Here are steps to reproduce the problem:

cat site.yml

• hosts: solaris10
  roles:
  • solaris10
• hosts: HOSTWITHPROBLEM
  roles:
  • users-sysadmins
• hosts: solaris11
  roles:
  • solaris11
• hosts: dbservers
  roles:
  • dbservers

My users-sysadmins role:

ls -lR

.:
total 20
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 27 19:15 files
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 27 19:14 handlers
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 4 15:43 tasks
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 27 19:15 templates
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 27 19:15 vars

./files:
total 0

./handlers:
total 0
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 27 19:14 main.yml

./tasks:
total 4
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 424 Dec 4 15:43 main.yml

./templates:
total 0

./vars:
total 0
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 27 19:15 main.yml

The yml file for the role:

cat tasks/main.yml

Sysadmin 1

• name: Creation of group for sysadmin1
  group: name=sysadmin1 gid=524 state=present
  tags: sysadmin1
• name: Creation of user for sysadmin1
  user: name=sysadmin1 comment="Sysadmin 1" uid=559 append=yes createhome=yes group=sysadmin1 groups=sysadmin home=/export/home/sysadmin1 shell=/usr/bin/bash
  tags: sysadmin1

And I call the playbook like this:

ansible-playbook /etc/ansible/site.yml -i /etc/ansible/dev -u sysadmin1 -k -s -K --limit=HOSTWITHPROBLEM --tags=sysadmin1 --check

And it changes the user for real each time even though I have the --check option.

Additional IRC info:

[23:12] You mentioned that you think the SunOS user module does not support check mode.
[23:13] @jtanner yes
[23:13] Can we be sure of that? What do I need to do to get to the bottom of this? I want to get to the bottom of this so I can get my confidence level back up to continue using Ansible in my production environment
[23:13] @jtanner well, are you connecting to sunos clients?
[23:14] Yes I am, it's a Solaris 10 zone even
[23:15] "ansible_architecture": "sun4v", "ansible_container": "zone", "ansible_distribution": "Solaris", "ansible_distribution_release": "Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 s10s_u10wos_17b SPARC", "ansible_distribution_version": "10",
[23:16] @jtanner the sunos class in the user mode makes zero references to self.module.check_mode so it's probably in need of a refactor
[23:16] @jtanner user module*
[23:17] @jtanner and it's been that way for over a year 3bab27ab
[23:17] @jtanner perhaps check mode wasn't around when romeo wrote the class?
[23:18] @jtanner i can probably fix it pretty quick, but i need a bug first

The check mode should not make changes to the user module.
