BlockinFile module help

[Akshay Kumar]

Hi Guys ,

I am using the below block for writing a variable values into a file

  - name: Add output of task for getting content to the local

    local_action:

      module: blockinfile

      path: "{{ File }}"

      marker: " "

      state: present

      block: |

           {{ item }}:

           {{ hostvars[item]['CronOutput'].stdout | default(['No Cron Entries'])  }}

      insertafter: EOF

    run_once: true

    with_items:

      - "{{ play_hosts }}"

In this for a host when there is not value in "CronOutput" variable , i want Default string to be printed into file for that host but it is not working , anyonw have an idea about the same?

I tried this also :

{{ hostvars[item]['CronOutput'].stdout | default('No Cron Entries')  }}

{{ hostvars[item]['CronOutput'].stdout | default("No Cron Entries")  }}

Thanks in advance.
