template - line break of bash script is skipped

[dulh...@mailbox.org]

I am using the template module for a bash script


There is a problem with these lines

cd $PGARCH
{% raw %}while mapfile -t -n 20 ARCHIVE_LOGS && ((${#ARCHIVE_LOGS[@]})){% endraw %}
do

they should be like below

cd $PGARCH
while mapfile -t -n 20 ARCHIVE_LOGS && ((${#ARCHIVE_LOGS[@]}))
do

but factually the line break does not survive, hence the while loop, does not work

cd $PGARCH
while mapfile -t -n 20 ARCHIVE_LOGS && ((${#ARCHIVE_LOGS[@]}))do



I tried the change the .j2 to

cd $PGARCH
{% raw %}while mapfile -t -n 20 ARCHIVE_LOGS && ((${#ARCHIVE_LOGS[@]})){% endraw %}\n
do

this prevent the line breack from disappearing but the '\n' remains in the target file on the remote

how would I approach this?

This works:

    cd $PGARCH
    {% raw -%}

    while mapfile -t -n 20 ARCHIVE_LOGS && ((${#ARCHIVE_LOGS[@]}))
    {% endraw %}
    do

Or, if you had other Jinja variables to expand in that line, you could rewrite

  ${#ARCHIVE_LOGS[@]}

as

  ${{ '{#' }}ARCHIVE_LOGS[@]}
