However I run in to problems adding a block of text to a file if it does not already exist. I have tried with this code:- name: Add mappings to /tmp/hosts blockinfile: dest: /tmp/hosts state: present create: yes block: | destination logserver1 { tcp("xx.xx.xx.xx" port(514)); }; destination logserver2 { tcp("xx.xx.x.x" port(514)); }; log { source(src); destination(logserver1); }; log { source(src); destination(logserver2); }; log { source(src); destination(logserver3); }; destination logserver3 { tcp("x.x.xx.xxx" port(5000)); }; marker: "# {mark} ANSIBLE HOSTS BLOCK " When I run this it bails out because of the create: yes line, if I comment that out it runs through, but of course does not create the file, and therefore fails the blockedit. If I create an empty file manually it works as intended. According to the docs, both state and create are supported by the blockinfile module. Ansible version is 2.1.2.0 Help appreciated
I tested you code on my 2.1.2 and it works. $ ls /tmp/hosts ls: cannot access '/tmp/hosts': No such file or directory $ ansible-playbook test.yml PLAY [localhost] ****************************************************** TASK [Add mappings to /tmp/hosts] ************************************* changed: [localhost] PLAY RECAP ************************************************************ localhost : ok=1 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0 $ ls /tmp/hosts /tmp/hosts -- Kai Stian Olstad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
