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 "/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1465888759.41-82910653497853/lineinfile", line 2540, in <module> main() File "/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1465888759.41-82910653497853/lineinfile", line 371, in main ins_aft, ins_bef, create, backup, backrefs) File "/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1465888759.41-82910653497853/lineinfile", line 266, in present lines.append(line + os.linesep) TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'dict' and 'str' 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.
