Question

In my Ansible playbook many times i need to create file there

   template:
     src: code.conf.j2
     dest: \"{{project_root}}/conf/code.         


        

Answer 1

you can create the folder using the following depending on your ansible version.

Latest version 2<

- name: Create Folder
  file: 
   path: "{{project_root}}/conf"
   recurse: yes
   state: directory

Older version:

- name: Create Folder
  file: 
      path="{{project_root}}/conf"
      recurse: yes
      state=directory
