Reading the contents of the file is not the challenge. I used both sllurp
as well as cat and I can see the file contents in the debug. The error
occurs when I regex for the desired string.
- name: Slurp certificate entries
slurp:
src: "{{ httpd_home }}/conf/httpd.conf"
register: filecontent
- name: Find certificate entries
set_fact:
input: "{{ filecontent['content'] | b64decode }}"
- debug:
msg: "{{ input }}"
- name: Regex String
set_fact:
target: "{{ input | regex_replace('\\sSSLFile.*, '\\1') }}"
The regex task fails where we are assigning the set_fact "target" with the
below error:
