netbox_interface module: Failed to establish connection to Netbox API"

[heinz6...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am quite desparate already. I want to use the netbox_interface module in ansible, but it fails. To check it, I use the uri module:

- name: URI

  uri::

    url: https://127.0.0.1/api/

    method: GET

    header:

      Accept: application/json

      Authorization: Token XXXX

    validate_certs: false

This works without a problem.

Now the play

- name: netbox interface

  netbox_interface:

    netbox_url: https://127.0.0.1/

    netbox_token: XXXX

    data:

      device: switch01

      name: GigabitEthernet1

    state: present

    validate_certs: false

Results in the error: "Failed to establish connection to Netbox API"

pynetbox is installed and works.

Ideas?

I would start debugging from this line -

https://github.com/netbox-community/ansible_modules/blob/8ef1932f2a40d1d913429e939d8da0abcd927c9d/plugins/module_utils/netbox_utils.py#L695

replacing -

```

except Exception:

    self.module.fail_json(msg="Failed to establish connection to NetBox API")

```

with

```

except Exception as e:

    self.module.fail_json(msg="Failed to establish connection to NetBox API %s" % str(e))

```

This will atleast give a correct error and then onwards we can debug more.
