The problem still here with 2.3.0.0:

TASK [Getting info about WAR file] *********************************************
ok: [my-stamps.ru -> 127.0.0.1]

TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
ok: [my-stamps.ru] => {
    "changed": false, 
    "war_file": {
        "changed": false, 
        "stat": {
            "exists": false
        }
    }
}

TASK [Ensuring that WAR file exists] *******************************************
fatal: [my-stamps.ru -> 127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => {
    "assertion": "war_file.stat.exists", 
    "changed": false, 
    "evaluated_to": false, 
    "failed": true
}

At the same time, in 2.1.1.0 version it outputs:

TASK [Getting info about WAR file] *********************************************
ok: [my-stamps.ru -> 127.0.0.1]

TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
