title: Ansible 2.7.x skipping task: "skip_reason": "Conditional result was False"
body: <p>Ansible is skipping the execution of a task even when my conditional string is meeting the requirement and I can see this string in the stdout. </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>I tried playing around with the content option in copy module where I replaced {{inventory_hostname}} with {{ansible_host}} </p></li>
  <li><p>I tried replacing result.stdout_lines with result.stdout as the stdout output is a dictionary.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <pre><code>---
  - name: Detecting NXOS 5K devices which fail the 'copy run start' from device inventory
    hosts: nxos-5k
    gather_facts: false
    connection: local

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Expected result: String search should be successful as I can see from -vvv that result.stdout contains the string.</p>
