Line too long, need to break over two lines -

[richard d]

I'm using yamllint to validate my code and its telling me my line is too long - read many posts online, and can't understand how to fix this.

- name: copy multiple items into multiple locations

  copy:

      src: "{{ item.src }}"

      dest: "{{ item.dest }}"

      owner: "{{ item.owner }}"

      mode: "{{ item.mode }}"

  with_items:

      - {src: '/home/user/motd', dest: '/etc/motd', owner: "root", mode: '0644'}

      - {src: '/home/user/file', dest: '/etc/file', owner: "root", mode: '0600'}

How can i take the last two lines and have them over two lines each?

thank you :)

You don't need to fix it, Ansible doesn't care about how long a lines is.

One way to write it is like this:

with_items:
- src: '/home/user/motd'
dest: '/etc/motd'
owner: "root"

mode: '0644'
- src: '/home/user/file'

dest: '/etc/file'
owner: "root"
mode: '0600'
