Removal of jinja conditional blocks
This Pull Request is a little on the larger side, but in principle is quite simple. Due to ansible setting trim_blocks
to true for jinja templating, having a block that ends a line eats the following line break, as evidenced by the blank lines that were strategically placed into the templates.
Changing from a jinja conditional block to a variable expression with filters avoids this.
The following two methods have been used - one for expected bare strings, and the other with expected lists. In both instances, where a leading space is needed to be generated, an empty string list (['']
) is prepended to the variable (coerced into a list in the case of strings using a ternary()
call), to then be joined using join(' ')
to add spaces between all elements - including the first, which is now an empty string, to create the leading space.
Strings:
{{ string_var is defined | ternary([''] + [string_var], []) | join(' ') }}
Lists:
Where var is required and a space is given before the opening braces:
{{ list_var | join(' ') }}
Where an inital space is needed because the var is optional:
{{ ([''] + list_var | default([])) | join(' ') }}
