template error while templating string

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

Hello:

Here is the command I am trying to run ansible adhoc 

ansible -o APP_SERVERS_GROUP[0] -i ~/HOSTS/v2/DATA_LAB/DIT/DIT1_DEV/DIT1__LOCAL_CURR/ -m shell -a "{{ curl -sk localhost:8080/Log4JControl/version.jsp | trim }}" -u ANSIBLE_USER

The output I get is this

dit1_dev.cucumber.com | FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "template error while templating string: expected token 'end of print statement', got 'localhost'. String: {{ curl -sk localhost:8080/Log4JControl/version.jsp | trim }}"}

Is this invalid syntax or am I doing this all wrong ?

All I am trying to avoid is the \r\n chars in the output.

In a template(between {{ and }}) you can only use template language call Jinja
not shell commands.

You need to use pure shell command

-a "curl -sk localhost:8080/Log4JControl/version.jsp | tr -d '\r\n'"
