I keep getting errors when running an insert line task
the task to insert is
- name: add line
lineinfile:
backup: no
backrefs: yes
state: present
path: “{{ file_path }}”
regexp: ‘^(\s*)[#]?{{ item.search }}(: )*’
line: ‘\1{{ item.search }}\2\n\1{{ item.add }}’
with_items:- { search: “{{ line.replace_with }}”, add: “{{ line.line_to_add }}” }
but I keep getting this error
