Dag Wieers 1e3dcfce4b Add option create= to lineinfile module
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.

module: lineinfile
author: Daniel Hokka Zakrisson
short_description: Ensure a particular line is in a file
description:
- This module will search a file for a line, and ensure that it is present or absent.
- This is primarily useful when you want to change a single line in a
file only. For other cases, see the M(copy) or M(template) modules.
version_added: "0.7"
options:
dest:
required: true
aliases: [ name, destfile ]
description:
- The file to modify
regexp:
required: true
description:
- The regular expression to look for in the file. For C(state=present),
the pattern to replace. For C(state=absent), the pattern of the line
to remove.
state:
required: false
choices: [ present, absent ]
default: "present"
aliases: []
description:
- Whether the line should be there or not.
line:
required: false
description:
- Required for C(state=present). The line to insert/replace into the
file. Must match the value given to C(regexp).
insertafter:
required: false
default: EOF
description:
- Used with C(state=present). If specified, the line will be inserted
after the specified regular expression. Two special values are
available; C(BOF) for inserting the line at the beginning of the
file, and C(EOF) for inserting the line at the end of the file.
choices: [ BOF, EOF ]
default: EOF
create:
required: false
choices: [ yes, no ]
default: no
description:
- Used with C(state=present). If specified, the file will be created
if it does not already exist. By default it will fail if the file
is missing.
backup:
required: false
default: no
description:
- Create a backup file including the timestamp information so you can
get the original file back if you somehow clobbered it incorrectly.
examples:
- code: "lineinfile: dest=/etc/selinux/config regexp=^SELINUX= line=SELINUX=disabled"
- code: 'lineinfile: dest=/etc/sudoers state=absent regexp="^%wheel"'
