How can I prevent templates from mixing up with the content they receive?

I am using wordpress install option to install and for that I have a template for wp-config.php.

My wp-config.php.j2 template has keys and salts replacement, it looks like

{{ wordpress_keys.content }}

      

wordpress_keys comes from a task that looks like this:

- name: retrieve new wordpress keys and salts
  uri:
    url: "https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/"
    method: GET
    return_content: yes
  register: wordpress_keys

      

The problem is that sometimes keys and salts have "special" characters in them like <>, {}, etc., and this seems to cause an error like this to be generated:

fatal: [ddc-wpchange2.ddc.prod] => {'msg :: AnsibleError: failed template define (' AUTH_KEY ',
' 1 = MFI * +! D ^ 1 / y;} za6 $ Qfw4vo {bv! GV ? LmX? ^ P h / 5L? SzDv & V <~ in +. ~ ^ OOdCFpyt] Tu8FSmGE} @ ||, Pe ​​(: (1% CjjAwhq {Gi # J- '); \ Ndefine (' LOGGED_IN_KEY ",

# [- i1ur} V? y $> EOyF; {lkU8Y; y0Znt '); \ n: template error while templating string: unexpected'] '",' failed ': True}

The error does not always occur, only when some special characters are present.

My question is ... How can I just substitute the results from a query without having it? Are there any screens or quotes that will work?

Thanks

So I gave up on the template solution. Instead, I used wp-cli to create a wp-config.php file for me. I only did this because the template solution accidentally didn't work with the template getting confused with the content it was receiving.

Dropping certain characters would be tricky because the uri maintainer not only needs to support this, but the templating engine would have to undo as well.

Instead, a workaround:

Modify the task to store the content in a file instead of a variable:



- name: retrieve new wordpress keys and salts
  uri:
    url: "https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/"
    method: GET
    dest: wp_keys.php
    return_content: yes

      

Then add a line to the wp-config.php.j2 template that includes wp_keys.php

.
