You could solve that issue by providing a 'line' property with a dummy
value, as in some of your previous attempts. Alas, although that should
prevent the exception, it will not get you to where you want to be.
File_line doesn't do that.
The key thing to understand here is that File_line represents a *specific*
line in a file. The 'match' parameter is *not* about recognizing that
line, it is about how to introduce it into the file if that is necessary.
When you ensure a File_line 'absent', you are saying that the file
identified by it's 'path' should not contain any line that is an exact,
character-for-character match to the 'line' parameter (because *that* is
what the resource represents).
For SSH authorized keys in particular, you should look into the built-in
Ssh_authorized_key resource type. More generally, if there is not already
a module or built-in resource type specific to the file you're trying to
manage, and you don't want to create one, then the more-or-less universal
fallback is an Exec resource.
