Desired Behavior

Currently, when setting an ansible tag, this is applied to all playbooks

    PLAYBOOK: prepare.yml **********************************************************
    1 plays in /Users/z0mbix/Work/b2c2/ansible/roles/newrelic/molecule/build/prepare.yml

    PLAY [Prepare] *****************************************************************
    META: ran handlers
    META: ran handlers
    META: ran handlers

    PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************```

This then breaks molecule in a number of ways:

• It does not install dependencies from meta/main.yml
• It will not apply tasks from the prepare playbook which I always want to run

Ideally, tags should only be applied to the converge stage.

I have tried setting the tag in molecule.yml and on the cli with:

molecule --debug converge -s build -- --tags build

What is the problem with current behavior? Can you give an example that motivates a change in that area?

[z0mbix]

@ssbarnea I've updated the description above.

@z0mbix - the opposite was needed on at least destroy before #1906

[z0mbix]

I'll close this, as I've hacked my way around it.
