loop_control.label will not be considered

[rguhr]

The default behavior of Ansible is that you see the entire content of a loop element. This can be a lot and impractical. You can use loop_control.label to change what should be displayed. But dump_loop_items ignores the option and dumps the entire loop element.

Example:

---
- hosts: all
  connection: local
  gather_facts: false

  tasks:
    - set_fact:
        myvar: "{{ item }}"
      loop: 
        - name: aaa
        - name: bbb
        - name: ccc
      loop_control:
        extended: true
        extended_allitems: false
        label: "({{ ansible_loop.index }}/{{ ansible_loop.length }}) {{ item.name }}"

Plain Ansible output:

ansible-playbook test.yml -i localhost,

PLAY [all] *********************************************************************

TASK [set_fact] ****************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=(1/3) aaa)
ok: [localhost] => (item=(2/3) bbb)
ok: [localhost] => (item=(3/3) ccc)
