Ansible 2.1.0 docker_container module not pulling image when missing on remote host

[ishan jain]

The documentation says:

Repository path and tag used to create the container. If an image is not found or pull is true, the image will be pulled from the registry.

But a simple usage of docker_container:

    - name: start docker container

      docker_container:

        name: container1

        image: image:1.0

        state: started

Yields the error:

fatal: [docker1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Error creating container: 404 Client Error: Not Found (\"No such image: image:1.0.0\")"}

The docker login is done on the remote docker host to pull from my private docker repo and the playbook works fine after i manually executed the docker pull command. I thought the module will try to pull image if not found locally.
