OS / ENVIRONMENT

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Desired Behavior

The regexp should not trigger a var-spacing warning

Actual Behavior

A minimal playbook might look like

---
- name: test
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
    - name: test
      ansible.builtin.lineinfile:
        path: /some/file.txt
        regexp: '({{ var1 }}|{{ var2 }})'
        line: 'abc'

The pipe triggers a var-spacing warning.
