Hallo,
in bash i use echo command to empty a file all replace it’s contents. I couldn’t figure this out using file or lineinfile modules.
Using shell command, i get another server state since ansible states change although i echo the same line.
Does anybody has an Idea ?

You just want to replace a file with an empty file? /dev/null is "an empty
file" that you can copy:
- copy: src=/dev/null dest=/tmp/empty-file
That seems to work for me. (Reports 'changed' if the file wasn't already
empty, 'ok' if the file was already empty.)
