Paths

The path_join filter has been added in ansible-base 2.10. If you want to use this filter, but also need to support Ansible 2.9, you can use community.general’s path_join shim, community.general.path_join. This filter redirects to path_join for ansible-base 2.10 and ansible-core 2.11 or newer, and re-implements the filter for Ansible 2.9.

# ansible-base 2.10 or newer:
path: {{ ('/etc', path, 'subdir', file) | path_join }}

# Also works with Ansible 2.9:
path: {{ ('/etc', path, 'subdir', file) | community.general.path_join }}

New in version 3.0.0.
