Ansible: 'debug' task get's me error message 'ansible_lvm' is undefined

Im trying parted, lvg, lvol and filesystem modules on Ansible.

I have an error with a debug task:

- name: lvm debug
  debug:
    msg: "{{ ansible_lvm }}"

The error is:

    fatal: [nfs_server]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'ansible_lvm' is undefined\n\nThe error appears to be in ...

I thought ansible_lvm was gathered during facts gathering since I don't have gathering disabled.

My custom ansible.cfg (put in the playbook folder) is as follow:

[defaults]
host_key_checking= False 
callbacks_enabled = profile_tasks 
pipelining= True

Thank you

According ansible/lib/ansible/module_utils/facts/hardware/linux.py and Ansible Issue #17393

"if running as root and lvm utils are available"

you need to have high rights like root or become: true, as well LVM utils installed, otherwise

"gather_facts silently skips lvm facts if lvm pkg not installed"
