We use the lineinfile module to modify configuration files of a proprietary application. This application reads configuration options from files, but does not require those files to exist (if the default options are fine). However this application may modify the configuration file at will, so we cannot copy or template those files. And after a silent install the configuration may not exist (depending on the response file). Whatever the case, during deployment we need to make sure some configuration options are set after the installation. So the cleanest way to handle this situation is to allow the lineinfile module to create the file if it is missing (and this is the expected behavior). When I proposed this behavior, @sergevanginderachter needed the same functionality and was now working around it as well. |
