Ansible Playbook Error

Hello All,

 

I have a playbook that is using the cp_mgmt_run_script module. The following error is returned when the playbook is run. 


TASK [run-script] ****************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [10.1.2.51]: FAILED! => {"ansible_facts": {"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python"}, "changed": false, "msg": {" code": "generic_err_invalid_parameter", "message": "ERROR: Failed to handle asynchronous tasks as synchronous, tasks result is und efined.\nInvalid parameter for [task-id]. Invalid value"}}

The task actually runs successfully against the target gateway, the task appears in the SmartConsole task list and returns the expected result.

I had the same issue.

I was able to workaround the issue by adding 'wait_for_task: "no"' to the task parameters.

Hi Simon,

There is an issue with the cp_mgmt_run_script included by default in ansible 2.9+.
This is fixed in the collection in galaxy and I believe also in the collection included in ansible 2.10

Remember to always use the latest updated collection available here:
https://galaxy.ansible.com/check_point/mgmt

You can find information about the updates in the different releases of the collection here:
https://github.com/CheckPointSW/CheckPointAnsibleMgmtCollection/releases

Kind Regards
Jim
