Notify handlers?

[sphakka]

Hi there,
I'm possibly missing something, but it looks like notify/handlers are ignored.

MWE: test.yml

- name: Test grapher
  hosts: foobar
  gather_facts: False

  tasks:
    - name: foo
      assert: { that: true }
      changed_when: true

    - name: bar
      assert: { that: true }
      changed_when: true
      notify: quux

  handlers:
    - name: quux
      assert: { that: true }

Notice the notify from task bar to handler quux.

Then (expect handler to be triggered):

$ ansible-playbook --check test.yml
PLAY [Test grapher] ************************************************************

TASK [foo] *********************************************************************
changed: [foobar] => {
    "changed": true,
    "msg": "All assertions passed"
}

TASK [bar] *********************************************************************
changed: [foobar] => {
    "changed": true,
    "msg": "All assertions passed"
}

RUNNING HANDLER [quux] *********************************************************
ok: [foobar] => {
    "changed": false,
    "msg": "All assertions passed"
}

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
foobar                     : ok=3    changed=2    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0

I'd expect grapher to show a handler node linked to its notifying task node, but

$ ansible-playbook-grapher --renderer mermaid-flowchart test.yml

gives:

No handler shown! Is it normal?

Hmm I think I have never considered the handlers. Let me check if I can include them in the graph.
