Hi,
I'm looking for some help.
I'm trying to edit with "lineinfile" module a JSON config file:
- name: Task
lineinfile:
dest=/etc/pkg/settings.json
state=present
regexp='{{ item.key }}'
line='"{{ item.key }}": {{ item.value }}'
with_items:
- { key: 'setting1', value: 'true' }
- { key: 'setting2', value: '"value2"' }
But, ansible return an error:
Note: The error may actually appear before this position: line x, column y
regexp='{{ item.key }}'
line='"{{ item.key }}": {{ item.value }},'
^
This one looks easy to fix. YAML thought it was looking for the start of a
hash/dictionary and was confused to see a second "{". Most likely this was
meant to be an ansible template evaluation instead, so we have to give the
parser a small hint that we wanted a string instead. The solution here is
to
just quote the entire value.
For instance, if the original line was:
app_path: {{ base_path }}/foo
It should be written as:
app_path: "{{ base_path }}/foo"
Ansible failed to complete successfully. Any error output should be
visible above. Please fix these errors and try again.
I get an hotfix, using this template of key/value format:
- {key: '"setting1":', value: true}
- {key: '"setting2":', value: '"value2"'}
Is there another way to do this?
Regards,
Guillaume
