Working on Copr, I want to replace/add one line in file. I spent more then hour trying various things, but I'm out of ideas.

What I'm trying to do is:

self.conn.module_name = "lineinfile" self.conn.module_args = "dest=/etc/mock/%s.cfg line="config_opts['chroot_setup_cmd'] = 'install @build %s'" regexp="^.*chroot_setup_cmd.*$"" % (self.chroot, self.buildroot_pkgs)

Which in yaml language should be (with placeholders expanded):

• name: putting scl-utils-build into minimal buildroot of fedora-19-i386 lineinfile: dest=/etc/mock/fedora-19-i386.cfg line="config_opts['chroot_setup_cmd'] = 'install @build

scl-utils-build'" regexp="^.*chroot_setup_cmd.*$"

I tried several things - among all:

• change regexp
• do not use regexp at all as that should put $line at the end of

file, which would work as well

• use command module with sed, but there is too much of escaping and

it is unreadable

Can somebody advise me what should be correct form to replace or add that line to mock config please?

I tested the following playbook, and it work. So I think we may need more information on what you try and how.

I found it. For the record: It was permission problem. The connection was made as copr user and not as root user. And copr user obviously can't modify /etc/mock/* files.
