[WARNING]: flush_handlers task does not support when conditional

[tendo...@gmail.com]

I have really simple role, in which I have these tasks:

---

- name: Download the app artifact from s3 bucket
  aws_s3:
    bucket: "my-bucket"
    object: "/my-artifact.tar.gz"
    mode: get
    dest: "my-artifact.tar.gz"
  notify:
    - Restart App


- name: Unarchive the tar file
  unarchive:
    src: "my-artifact.tar.gz"
    dest: "/app-dir"




- name: Copy the templates to desired locations
  template:
    src:  "my-app.j2"
    dest: "/app-dir/my-app.config"
  notify:
    - Restart App


- meta: flush_handlers


- Some other tasks

Here is my simple handler:

---
- name: Restart App
  systemd:
    name: "my-app"
    state: restarted

but at the meta step I am getting this warning:

[WARNING]: flush_handlers task does not support when conditional

It was working fine until, 2.5.x but getting this warning after upgrading to 2.7/2.8, I didn't have any when condition.

any help will be highly appreciated

This appears to be fine, but as you say this is only the role.
This indicates that issue is elsewhere, for instance in the calling playbook.
Can you share that?

my main.yml is really simply like this:

---
- import_tasks: git.yml
  when: GIT_ENABLED | default(false)
- import_tasks: -s3.yml
  when: not (GIT_ENABLED | default(false))

When using `import_tasks`, ansible will read the file, and effectively replace your `import_tasks` with the tasks that are inside it.  When we do that, the `when` statement gets added to each individual task within.  

As such, you get this warning.

Switching to `include_tasks` should avoid this.
