Compatiblity issue with ansible.netcommon 5.0.0?

boneyard — Thu, 13 Apr 2023 05:25:22 GMT

Due to a new Check Point Ansible mgmt collection version coming up I was looking into upgrading collections with ansible-galaxy.

I tested with the ansible.netcommon which was 4.1.0 on my system and I upgraded to 5.0.0.

Afterwards I couldn't run any playbooks on Check Point SMS (R81.10), they ended at the first step. Looking at the api.elg log I saw a login attempt which returned a 415 and no real cause.

Once I downgraded to 4.1.0 all was well again. I did not make any other changes.

Is there a known issue with ansible.netcommon version 5.0.0 and Check Point mgmt (and possibly gaia, didnt test) collection?

Just to be clear, you updated another module and it broke our mgmt collection?

Yes, after the upgrade of the ansible.netcommon collection (which is used to connect to the SMS I assume) I can't run anyone of the mgmt collection tasks anymore. They exit with a HTTP 415 response during the login action.

For reference this the API log with the upgraded ansible.netcommon. With just going back to 4.1.0 it works again.

Hi,
Ansible support team explained to us that it was another manifestation of ansible-collections/ansible.netcommon#524.
Issue was fixed in their new version 5.1.0.
