Can't change installed version via NVM for user - node.js

Question

I am trying to install Node in eg. version 12.18.2 for user dev.
There is no issue when I'm doing it via command line.
Theoretically, I run the same commands from Ansible on a server and there is still the first version installed. I wonder how to make Ansible change version already installed on a server.
This is how I install nvm:
- name: Install nvm
ansible.builtin.shell: >
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash
args:
executable: /bin/bash
chdir: "$HOME"
creates: "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh"
- name: Setup .profile
ansible.builtin.lineinfile:
path: ~/.profile
line: source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
create: yes
- name: Install node
ansible.builtin.shell: |
source ~/.profile & nvm install {{ item }}
args:
executable: /bin/bash
chdir: "$HOME"
creates: "$HOME/.nvm/versions/node/v{{item}}"
loop:
- 12.18.2
When running this code first time, there is issue with /bin/bash: nvm: command not found, when running second time Ansible informs that it's skipping this installation step as it's already installed. I want user dev to use this installed version so I added this task that will use a specific version for a specific user:
- name: Change version
become_user: dev
ansible.builtin.shell: |
source ~/.profile & nvm use {{ item }}
args:
executable: /bin/bash
chdir: "$HOME"
creates: "$HOME/.nvm/versions/node/v{{item}}"
loop:
- 12.18.2
The output is the same as it's with install step:
ok: [my-server] => (item=12.18.2) => changed=false
ansible_loop_var: item
cmd: |-
source ~/.profile & nvm use 12.18.2
item: 12.18.2
rc: 0
stdout: skipped, since /home/dev/.nvm/versions/node/v12.18.2 exists
stdout_lines: <omitted>
When running the same command directly on a a server I get proper output:
dev#my-server:$ nvm use 12.18.2
Now using node v12.18.2 (npm v6.14.5)
Also the strange this is, when running install nvm step for other version like 12.18.1, I'm getting this:
TASK [nodejs : Install node] ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************

But I am sourcing .profile before installation source ~/.profile & nvm install {{ item }}
Of course when I use command line on a server there is no issue even without sourcing the .profile:
dev#my-server:$ nvm install 12.18.1

TLTR
When using nvm use Ansible skip step and inform it's already installed (Yes, it's installed, but I want to use it, not install it using nvm use).
When using nvm install for not installed version Ansible informs that /bin/bash: nvm: command not found even when sourcing ~/.profile before installation.
Doing the same via command line works perfectly. Can somebody help me to find what am I doing wrong via Ansible?
EDIT: Thanks #β.εηοιτ.βε for pointing that creates in Change version step that should be remove. Now looks like Ansible changed version, but not exactly:

The issue is that there is still the old version on a dev user when I'm checking. I'm pretty confused why Ansible thinks that version was changed for user dev and then when Ansible checks version for this user it's still the old one.
