"lineinfile" should line up with "name" above. The "lineinfile:" is the
mapping that it's complaining cannot be indented more than "name:". Such
indentation creates a new context. Thus the message, "mapping values are
not allowed in this context".
Is there a reason to use the "key=value" format instead of:
- name: Add to file
ansible.builtin.lineinfile:
dest: /somedir/somefile
insertafter: EOF
line: '_some-name TXT
"aZJACEhonRJiOCL1ZtkKMKnx7U 4m5j bSswyClGb6wGk"'
It isn't wrong. It just looks weird when you're used to the other style.
Cheers,

Thanks, Todd. I already tried that, and it fails:

The error appears to be in '/etc/ansible/playbooks/updatedns.yml':
line 8, column 16, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
- name: Add to file
lineinfile: dest=/somedir/somefile insertafter=EOF
line='_some-name TXT
"aZJACEhonRJiOCL1ZtkKMKnx7U 4m5j bSswyClGb6wGk"'

Single-quoted strings can contain double-quotes. So instead of
line="something ending with a "double-quoted string""
do this:
line='something ending with a "double-quoted string"'

Good day, all.
I want to add the following line to a file:
_some-name TXT
"aZJACEhonRJiOCL1ZtkKMKnx7U4m5jbSswyClGb6wGk"
I would think I'd use the following:
lineinfile: dest=/somedir/somefile insertafter=EOF
line="_acme-challenge TXT
"aZJACEhonRJiOCL1ZtkKMKnx7U4m5jbSswyClGb6wGk"
However, the quoted string at the end is screwing my up. How do I
make this work? Would ansible.builtin.blockinfile be better? If
so, how would I set that up?
