[Bug] pgbackrest role "The conditional check 'item.option == 'log-path'' failed." error

[lcoon21]

Bug description

Hi, I've encountered with this error:

The conditional check 'item.option == 'log-path'' failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional (item.option == 'log-path'): 'item' is undefined
The error appears to be in '/home/runner/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/vitabaks/autobase/roles/pgbackrest/tasks/main.yml': line 89, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
- block:
    - name: Ensure log directory exists
      ^ here

And here is the explanation:

The error 'item' is undefined occurs because Ansible cannot access the item variable when the when: condition is evaluated. This happens due to incorrect placement of the loop directive relative to the block.

Variable Scope Issue:

In Ansible, the item variable is only created within the context of a task that has a loop

When you place loop at the same level as block, the when: condition is evaluated before item exists

Structural Problem:

- block:  # Problem: loop is inside the task but when is evaluated earlier
  - name: Task
    module: ...
    loop: "{{ list }}"  # Creates item
    when: item.param    # Tries to use item before it exists

Expected behavior

Running collection doesn't failing
