How can I add new line characters to Ansible variable mailbody. This mailbody variable is used for mail module's body attribute.
I tried the below from suggestions but none of them works.
1. - set_fact:
mailbody: "{{ mailbody | default('') + 'PROFILE_NAME:' + PROFILE_NAME ~ '\n\nSERVER_NAME:' + SERVER_NAME ~ '\n\nNODE_NAME:' + NODE_NAME ~ '\n\n\n\n' }}"2. mailbody: "{{ mailbody | default('') + 'PROFILE_NAME:' + PROFILE_NAME ~}} {{ 'SERVER_NAME:' + SERVER_NAME ~ }}\n\n{{'NODE_NAME:' + NODE_NAME ~ }}\n\n\n\n"3.mailbody: | "{{ mailbody | default('') + 'PROFILE_NAME:' + PROFILE_NAME ~}}" "{{ 'SERVER_NAME:' + SERVER_NAME ~ }}" "{{'NODE_NAME:' + NODE_NAME ~ }}"In the mail body i see '\n' instead of the new line charecter.Can you please suggest ?

I won't comment on whatever it is you're trying to do, but in any case you need to use double quotes around the newlines

Stephan Hi,
The article does not discuss newline inside parenthesis `{{` inside a variable definition. That is where I have no clue.

I tried multiline too as below, but that too fails
mailbody: |
"{{ mailbody | default('') + 'PROFILE_NAME: ' + PROFILE_NAME }}" + "\n"
"{{ 'SERVER_NAME: ' + SERVER_NAME }}"
Output:
['"PROFILE_NAME: SPROD01" + "[file://\\n"\n]\\n"\n"SERVER_NAME: SPROD01SRV01"\n', '"PROFILE_NAME: SPROD02" + "[file://\\n"\n]\\n"\n"SERVER_NAME: SPROD02SRV02"\n']
Also tried:
Output:
['"PROFILE_NAME: SPROD01" + "[file://\\n"\n]\\n"\n"SERVER_NAME: SPROD01SRV01"\n', '"PROFILE_NAME: SPROD02" + "[file://\\n"\n]\\n"\n"SERVER_NAME: SPROD02SRV02"\n']
Also tried:
mailbody: |
"{{ mailbody | default('') + 'PROFILE_NAME: ' + PROFILE_NAME }}"
"{{ 'SERVER_NAME: ' + SERVER_NAME }}"
and
and
mailbody: |
"{{ mailbody | default('') + 'PROFILE_NAME: ' + PROFILE_NAME }}" + "\\n"
"{{ 'SERVER_NAME: ' + SERVER_NAME }}"

You already put two errors in your task which prevent it from running correctly.

Dick Hi,
That was a typo; however, the problem remains!! Writing to a file is all good with newline while writing to email body does not translate "\n" as new line !! Could this be a bug? Kindly suggest.

Can you show again the complete playbook? Including the task where the

That must be the issue I think.
