Description

While running tests for aci_bulk_static_binding_to_epg (#822) I am seeing errors when setting ansible_connection=ansible.netcommon.httpapi. Workaround applied for now in the code to handle the none situation with a try/catch

It appears to be an issue with the api_call function aci.

Affected Module Name(s):

• aci_rest
• aci_bulk_static_binding_to_epg

APIC version and APIC Platform

• any version

Collection versions

• cisco.aci v2.13.0

Output/ Error message

found because read() was called on a None object in aci_bulk_static_binding_to_epg

fatal: [cn-dmz-apic-m1-03-v60]: FAILED! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Task failed: Module failed: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'read'"
}

Expected Behavior

• Response should be handled the same for both local and httpapi plugin connection

Actual Behavior

• Response is none for httpapi plugin connection
• Response is valid for local connection
