Is there a solution to this?
I am trying to add to PATH and can't keep ansible from evaluating a $
I've tried '\$' and several other things.
I'm trying to achieve the following:
MYPATH is an env variable on a remote host.
I want to add a string defined in vars/main.yml to a line in .bash_profile
export PATH=$PATH:$MYPATH
In full detail here
- name: Add git scripts to .bash_profile
lineinfile: dest="{{home_prefix}}/{{ansible_ssh_user}}/.bash_profile"
regexp="{{item.regexp}}"
line="{{item.line}}"
with_items:
- {
regexp: "roles/git/files",
line: '{{path_to_git_extras}}'
}
with path_to_git_extras defined in vars/main.yml
path_to_git_extras: 'PATH=\\$PATH:\\$ANSIBLE_21CT_HOME/roles/git/files'
# I thought jinja filters might work here but i get variable "string"
undefined
path_to_git_extras: '{{string("export
PATH=$PATH:$ANSIBLE_21CT_HOME/roles/git/files")}}'
The latter is what i really want. A function or something that says "Don't
evaluate anything inside here EVER"
I didn't see an issue on git. Still want one filed?
