If you need to write a shell script in Ansible, you probably have something like this:
- name: iterate user groups
shell: groupmod -o -g {{ item['guid'] }} {{ item['username'] }}
with_items: "{{ users }}"
But how do you write multiline shell scripts with this format?
How to write Multiline shell scripts
- name: iterate user groups
shell: |
groupmod -o -g {{ item['guid'] }} {{ item['username'] }}
do_some_stuff_here
and_some_other_stuff
with_items: "{{ users }}"
Just note that Ansible can do some strange things with manipulations of arguments, so you may want to follow something like this:
- shell: |
cat <<EOF
This is a test.
EOF
Or better yet, wrap them:
- shell:
cmd: |
cat <<EOF
This is a test.
EOF
