In Ansible, how do I add a line to the end of a file?

Question

I would expect this to be pretty simple. I\'m using the lineinfile module like so:

- name: Update bashrc for PythonBrew for foo user
  lineinfil

Apparently ansible has matured and now (version >2.4.0) according to the documentation, The defaults when only the line is specified will append a given line to the destination file:

    - name: Update bashrc for PythonBrew for foo user
      lineinfile:
        dest: /home/foo/.bashrc
        line: "[[ -s ${pythonbrew.bashrc_path} ]] && source {pythonbrew.bashrc_path}"
        owner: foo
