Hey Rich ,

Thanks for the suggestion , it seemed to solve that particular problem, but now it basically wants each variable defined in the defaults to be defined again .For some reason it is unable to use the defaults in the rescue block.I do not know why this was triggered because the connection is non existent and does not have a type defined .

Here is how the network connections looks like .

network_connections:
- name: non_existent
type: ethernet
state: down
persistent_state: absent

This is only happening if I have to check which task failed , if I just use a simple debug msg in the rescue column , it works fine .Would it be okay to just use that, since no other task is in the block , a failure would only come from this task .

Currently I'm just using ignore error: yes to ignore the failure of this task

Thanks,

Harsh

Seems like a bug, but hard to say without knowing what your input
`network_connections` looks like.

Does it work if you make this change?
