1. "execute_command": "{{.Vars}} sudo -E -S bash '{{.Path}' '{{user
`arg1`}}' '{{user `arg2`}}' " Is this correct? I tried this but since i
have lot of arguments to be passed it is less readable and error prone.
2.The problem i am facing is I have lot of variables to be passed as
arguments and when I run as below:
"execute_command": "{{.Vars}} sudo -E -S bash '{{.Path}' '{{user `arg1`}}'
'{{user `arg2`}}' \n
'{{user `arg3`}}' '{{user `arg4`}}'
'{{user `arg5`}}' \n
Failed to parse template: Error parsing JSON: invalid character '\n' in
string literal. Could you please help how I can pass multiline arguments?
