Ansilbe option --list-tasks does not list any tasks

[Phonthip Namkaew]

Hi

After an Ansible update from 1.9.2 to 2.0.1.0  the following command (--list-tasks) does not list
any tasks anymore:

foo:/data/ansible> ansible-playbook -i inventory playbooks/playbook-s12-oracle-directory.yml --list-tasks

playbook: playbooks/playbook-s12-oracle-directory.yml

  play #1 (s12-oracle-directory):       TAGS: []
    tasks:
      include   TAGS: [base:install]
      include   TAGS: [directory:install]
foo:/data/ansible #


However, the following command still works as expected which means Ansible knows the tasks:
foo:/data/ansible> ansible-playbook -i inventory playbooks/playbook-s12-oracle-directory.yml --limit=foobaa8011-mgt.example.org


In addition, a --list-hosts works as well:
foo:/data/ansible> ansible-playbook -i inventory playbooks/playbook-s12-oracle-directory.yml --list-hosts

playbook: playbooks/playbook-s12-oracle-directory.yml

  play #1 (s12-oracle-directory):       TAGS: []
    pattern: [u's12-oracle-directory']
    hosts (4):
      foobaa4026-mgt.example.org
      foobaa8010-mgt.example.org
      foobaa4027-mgt.example.org
      foobaa8011-mgt.example.org
foo:/data/ansible>


I considered the options <--list-tasks> as very helpful. I am not sure if this is a bug ?


The Ansible version:

foo:/data/ansible> ansible --version
ansible 2.0.1.0
  config file = /data/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = Default w/o overrides
foo:/data/ansible>


The Playbook:

foo:/data/ansible> cat playbooks/playbook-s12-oracle-directory.yml
