Quotes in ansible lineinfile

Question

When I use lineinfile in ansible it is not writing \', \" characters lineinfile: \'dest=/home/xyz state=present line=\"CACHES=\"

Answer 1

Just a follow up to this, above examples did not work for me when trying to create a batch file on a windows box using win_lineinfile. The file was being created, the line was being inserted, but the quotes and backslashes were formatted terribly. This was with ansible 2.4. What I finally ended up doing per a co workers suggestion was some inline jinja templating;

- name: insert our batch file contents
  win_copy:
    dest: C:\QAAutomation\files\posauto.bat
    force: yes
    content: |
      {% raw %}"C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit 2.6.3\bin\nunit-console.exe" "C:\QAAutomation\files\1POS Automation\Application Files\Bin\Automation.dll" > "c:\QAAutomation\results\nunit-console-output.txt" {% endraw %}
