  # Desired Behavior
  
  In molecule v5, the `create` step was automatically skipped when `created: true` in `<XDG_CACHE_HOME>/molecule//<scenario>/state.yml` with the message `WARNING  Skipping, instances already created.`. This is the desired behavior.
  
  Here an example with a simple hello_world role after a `molecule create` execution. The molecule-qemu plugin is used here.
  ```

  # Actual Behaviour
  
  Since molecule v6, the `WARNING  Skipping, instances already created.` message is no longer displayed and the create step is executed each time the `molecule converge` is called.
  
  Here an example with the same role, with the same conditions except that molecule version is 6.0.2.
