Unknown error with arguments of roles

[Axel Rau]

Hi all,

I have a role lr_nsupdate so:
- - -
- name: Show calling args
debug:
var: ca

- name: Update DNS master server
community.general.nsupdate:
key_name: '{{ key_name }}'
key_algorithm: '{{ algorithm }}'
key_secret: '{{ secret }}'
server: '{{ server }}'
zone: '{{ ca.zone | default(None) }}'
record: '{{ ca.owner_name }}'
ttl: '{{ the_ttl | default(3600) }}'
type: '{{ ca.type }}'
value: '{{ ca.RDATA }}'
state: '{{ ca.state | default(present) }}‘
- - -
When I call it so in another role:
- - -
- name: 'Delete CNAME db.lrau.net'
include_role:
name: lr_nsupdate
vars:
ca:
ca.owner_name: 'db.lrau.net.'
ca.state: 'absent'
ca.type: ‚CNAME‘
- - -
I get:
- - -
ok: [dbo5] => {
"ca": {
"ca.owner_name": "db.lrau.net.",
"ca.state": "absent",
"ca.type": "CNAME"
}
}

TASK [lr_nsupdate : Update DNS master server] **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [dbo5]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'owner_name'\n\nThe error appears to be in '/usr/local/etc/ansible/roles/lr_nsupdate/tasks/main.yaml': line 31, column 3, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n- name: Update DNS master server\n ^ here\n“}

Any help welcome,
Axel

You either change it to ca.ca.owner_name or remove the second 'ca' for each dict member.

Naturally of course, (-;

After fixing the argument issue, I’m stuck with this:

I have a role lr_nsupdate so:
- - -

Is this a bug in the nsupdate module?

Thanks, Axel

Those default(None) should probably be default(omit).

Is this a bug in the nsupdate module?

I expect it is, or at least it could be handled better. But my guess is it’s being triggered by your use of None instead of omit.

YES!
