Hi ,

I'm using the following to set the environment for an already extracted 
package to append to PATH 

- name: Set Environment
    lineinfile: dest='/etc/environment' state=present backrefs=yes regexp=
'PATH=(["]*)((?!.*?{{append_var}}).*?)(["]*)$' line=
"PATH=\1\2:{{append_var}}\3"



The append_var has been declared as follows
append_var:
'/srv/chat/erlang/bin:/srv/chat/erlang/lib:/srv/chat/ejabberd/bin:/srv/chat/ejabberd/etc:/srv/chat/ejabberd/lib:/srv/chat/ejabberd/sbin:/srv/chat/ejabberd/share:/srv/chat/ejabberd/var/'



While the playbook is executed it returns the below error

Note: The error may actually appear before this position: line 7, column 15
- name: Set Environment
    lineinfile: dest='/etc/environment' state=present backrefs=yes regexp=
'PATH=(["]*)((?!.*?{{append_var}}).*?)(["]*)$' line=
"PATH=\1\2:{{append_var}}\3"
              ^
We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
missing quotes.  Always quote template expression brackets when they
start a value. For instance:
    with_items:
      - {{ foo }}
Should be written as:
    with_items:
      - "{{ foo }}"

Please guide if I'm missing some expressions
