When I try that code I get something different altogether, note the
single dash for the list item:
~$ cat /tmp/tempfile
command:
- run: '"somecommand ''somestring'' | awk ''{print $2}''"
'
But this seems OK as that is what ansible is instructed to do.
So, the better question is what are you trying to do?
What do you want that file to look like - exactly?
Also, you ask for yaml, and when that is emitted, ansible (or the yaml
library) emits whatever is needed to make it valid YAML.
