I'm trying to make my lineinfile command that uses multiple lines
idempotent:
- lineinfile: >
dest=/etc/example.conf
regexp='^\[test(.*)'
line='[test]{{ '\n' }}secondline'
I've tried this, and the following regexp variations:
regexp=''/^\[test(.*)/s' # trying to get it to work multiline
regexp='^\[test\]{{ '\n' }}secondline' # trying to use same pattern in
'line'
I've also tried a bunch of other variations, with no luck, as well as
adding 'insertafter=EOF'. In all cases, I ended up getting another block of
text each time I ran ansible-playbook.
How can I do a lineinfile with multiple lines with idempotence?
(Also, I can't get the line to work without wrapping newlines, tab
characters, etc. in a variable reference ({{ }}), though I've seen other
examples online where those whitespace characters must be working correctly.
