Special characters on XML template

[sfloresk]

Hello, hope you are well

I am trying to create a service template that is configuring a confd server, which contains some variables as part of the config:

(...)

<netplan>

<template>network:

ethernets:

ens192:

addresses: [{{K8S_SSH_IP}}/26]

dhcp4: false

</template>

</netplan>

(...)

{{K8S_SSH_IP}} is a variable that is part of the configuration to be sent, not meant to be replaced by NSO.

On packages reload, I see the following error:

info deployments-5g-template.xml:50 failed to compile: '{K8S_SSH_IP' reason: Invalid name: {K8S_S

Is there a way to escape those characters so the XML engine does not try to parse them?

Thanks in advance

Yes, you can '\' backslash the curly brackets:

<netplan>

<template>network:

 ethernets:

 ens192:

 addresses: [\{\{K8S_SSH_IP\}\}/26]

 dhcp4: false



</template>



</netplan>
