For Some Reason when this task is reached and is_nginx is true it skips it, i've also changed it to a block and put import_tasks inside the block instead of include and it has all the items but just skips them all It's boggling my mind as i have similar includes with when statements else where and it works fine There are no other errors so i'm ruling out the vars: block having any issues Does anyone have any idea what is causing this issue?
