Jinja append in same line after if-else

Question

I have the following piece of HTML:

Vendor accounts:
{% if fact_foundVendorList is defined and fact_foundVendorList|length > 0 %}
   {% for vendor in fact_foundVendorList %}
      
         {{ vendor }}
      
   {% endfor %}
{%- else -%}
No accounts were found for the user
{%- endif -%}

When the if fact_foundVendorList returns to be false, it will look like this:

* Vendor accounts:
    No vendor accounts were found for the user

Otherwise, it would like something like:

 * Vendor accounts:
    * account1
    * account2

I only want to change the false output. In case it's false I want to have the message in the same line as the "vendor accounts" line. So it should look like this:

* Vendor accounts: No accounts were found for the user.

I thought adding the following %- -% would work, but I think I need something else

{%- else -%}
No accounts were found for the user
{%- endif -%}

I saw various related solutions online but couldn't apply it to my case without breaking the structure of the

tags in my template. It's a long document.

Your issue here lies on the fact that you will have to have the No accounts were found for the user inside the

containing Vendor accounts:, otherwise it won't be on the same line, as you want your list to be of the default display: list-item type.

What you can do, then, is to create a variable with the condition, then use it to display the message.

{% set has_account = fact_foundVendorList | default([]) | length > 0 %}


  Vendor accounts: {% if not has_account %}No accounts were found for the user{% endif %}

{% for vendor in fact_foundVendorList | default([]) %}
  
    {{ vendor }}
  
{% endfor %}

Note that: by defining a default value to an empty list, you do not need to assert if the list is defined for the length filter to be able to give you the correct information
