Creating envs is not idempotent

[jdmansour]

I am creating an environment and installing some packages. However, when I run the playbook again, it doesn't say "OK", but takes a while and says "changed". I am using state: present instead of latest and would expect it to finish quickly with "OK" when the environment already exists. Is there any way to get it to do that?

Example task:

- name: Install amalea environment
  become: yes
  conda:
    executable: /opt/tljh/user/bin/mamba
    environment: amalea
    state: present
    channels:
      - conda-forge
      - defaults
    name:
      - python=3.9.7
      - pip

Edit: it seems the culprit is that I gave the environment name, not a path. The function list_envs parses the output of conda env list --json, which only returns the paths.
