k8s_info - async is not supported for this task.

[wmlynch]

SUMMARY

I see differences between indirect and direct references to k8s_info and the async task option. I don't know if this a bug or working as designed. Or if this a builtin redirect isssue?

This works...

  - name: built-in redirect example (works)
    k8s_info:
   ...
    async: "120"
    poll: "1"

This doesn't work...

 - name: direct example (doesn't work)
    kubernetes.core.k8s_info:
   ...
    async: "120"
    poll: "1"

and fails with

task path: /root/molecule/async-recreate.yml:25
An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: NoneType: None
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "async is not supported for this task."}
