ansible return code 0 for action but still getting NO MORE HOSTS LEFT

Question

ansible 2.1.2.0

- name: Ensure/Install pre-requisite packages (RedHat)
  yum:
    name: "{{ item }}"
    state: installed
    update_cache: yes
  with_items:
    - 'pygpgme'
    - 'yum-utils'
    - 'python-pip'
    - 'facter'

When I'm running my plabook, it errors out even when the return status/code rc is 0 and if i turn on the debug (-vvv), the whole ok:... output comes in Green color (instead of Red color which is for a failed step/action).

Questions:

1. Why am I getting this NO MORE HOSTS LEFT error, when "rc": 0 and whole output color is coming in Green for localhost. All the packages are already installed. See output at the bottom.

2. How can I do this in Ansible (if possible without using command/shell modules) sudo yum-complete-transaction --cleanup-only, is that possible via yum module (if possible in that same yum action I have in my playbook)?

So, to fix it, I also tried running yum to install packages/pending at command line (and it shows Nothing to do as everything is up to date):

$ sudo yum install yum-utils pygpgme python-pip facter

Package facter-2.4.1-1.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Re-ran the ansible playbook and it errored again with the same issue.

Answer 1

It seems like Ansible's yum module doesn't support that 2nd bullet 2. So, I had to use command module (which I was not preferring to use earlier) as that will resolve the error.

- name: Yum complete transaction cleanup only
  command: sudo yum-complete-transaction --cleanup-only

or better to use,

- name: Yum complete transaction cleanup only
  command: yum-complete-transaction --cleanup-only
  become_user: root

Still, question 1 is left unanswered as why when rc = 0 / output is in Green color, then ansible playbook action failed.
