Hi there
 
 I'm running into an issue that I don't know if it is a expected behaviour 
or a bug....
 I have a play with two task both of them have the conditional "when" and 
both of them use the same variable name as a register like so :


- name: Forcing Termination of instances
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  tasks:

    - name: Finding instances to terminate base on Build Number
      #shell: aws ec2 --output=json --region eu-west-1 
describe-instances|jq '.Reservations[].Instances[] | 
select(contains({Tags':' [{Key':' "terminate_me"}]}))'|jq -r ".InstanceId"
      shell: aws ec2 --output=json --region eu-west-1 describe-instances 
--filter "Name=tag:jenkins_build,Values={{ jenkins_build }}" 
"Name=instance-state-name,Values=running"|jq -r 
".Reservations[].Instances[].InstanceId"
      register: ec2_instancesIDs
      when: with_jenkins_build

    - name: Finding instances to terminate after Failed job run
      #shell: aws ec2 --output=json --region eu-west-1 
describe-instances|jq '.Reservations[].Instances[] | 
select(contains({Tags':' [{Key':' "terminate_me"}]}))'|jq -r ".InstanceId"
      shell: aws ec2 --output=json --region eu-west-1 describe-instances 
--filter "Name=tag:terminate_me,Values=true" 
"Name=instance-state-name,Values=running"|jq -r 
".Reservations[].Instances[].InstanceId"
      register: ec2_instancesIDs
      when: no_build_number

    - debug: var=ec2_instancesIDs

 I noticed in debug mode that even if the task is being skipped the 
variable is being set anyway so if I run the cleanup jenkins job and I use 
the jenkins build number and I call ansible like so :

 ansible-playbook -vvvv --tags cleanup --extra-vars no_build_number=false 
cleanup=true with_jenkins_build=true jenkins_build=70 
jmeter/loadtools/site.yml

The ec2_instancesIDs value ends to be :

TASK: [debug var=ec2_instancesIDs] ******************************************** 
ok: [localhost] => {
    "ec2_instancesIDs": {
        "changed": false, 
        "skipped": true
    }
}


Because the last task is being skipped.

is this a expected behaviour ?

Thanks.
