Hi all,

I am trying to use the lineinfile module to append  some of the software 
details to a file. 
I don't want to match to any regexp, but just insert every software details 
at the EOF.


Below is the piece of code.

- name: Collect python details
  action: get_python_details 
  register: python

- name: Write registered variable to file
  local_action: lineinfile dest={{ third_party_dest_path }}  line={{ python 
}} regexp="" insertafter=EOF state=present create=yes

Have also tried giving regexp="^$", regexp="^\s*$" as well to match to an 
empty line, but throws the below error.

Error:

An exception occurred during task execution. The full traceback is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File

    lines.append(line + os.linesep)

fatal: [172.19.3.60 -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": 
true, "invocation": {"module_name": "lineinfile"}, "parsed": false}


Kindly help on how to go about appending to EOF without matching to any regexp.


Thanks in advance,

Mona G
