[Bug]: ERROR: Primary key `name` is missing for the resource `lbvserver_servicegroup_binding about ansible-collection-netscaleradc

[sumanth-lingappa]

weight and servicegroupname are mutually exclusive for lbvserver_servicegroup_binding.
If you need to use weight, you can use servicename parameter instead as below:

      netscaler.adc.lbvserver_servicegroup_binding:
        weight: 1
        name : lb_vs_testlb_443
        servicename: lb_sg_testlb_8443 # NOT `servicegroupname` since `weight` is present

Even with this combination (name and servicename), there was an error during second time running the playbook. This was due to a NITRO bug, which I am tracking internally.

I have given a workaround in the ansible module. So the below anomoly you may expect for lbvserver_servicegroup_binding module:

lbvserver_servicegroup_binding module if weight is present in the playbook-task, the changed flag is always set to true. On the other hand, if weight is not present for this module, the resource is completely IDEMPOTENT.

Below is the man page for bind lbvserver from the NetScaler CLI

> man bind lbvserver

Try:

name : "lb_vs_testlb_443"
servicegroupname: "lb_sg_testlb_8443"

Did not work then I got the error Missing required key servicename

@stefanschlipfi, can you provide us the equivalent CLI you would try if you configure this via NSCLI?

Please include the lbvserver as well as servicegroup CLIs as well for the complete commands

[stefanschlipfi]

preparation

add lb vserver lb_vs_testlb_443
add serviceGroup lb_sg_testlb_8443 SSL

failing command

bind lb vserver lb_vs_testlb_443 lb_sg_testlb_8443 -weight 1

@stefanschlipfi, can you try with the latest pr merge?

You can install unreleased version as below:

ansible-galaxy collection install "git+https://github.com/netscaler/ansible-collection-netscaleradc.git" --force

[sumanth-lingappa]

@stefanschlipfi, can you please update here?

[stefanschlipfi]

Nothing changed, still the same Problem.

[sumanth-lingappa]

You can install the unreleased netscaler.adc ansible collection via the below command:

ansible-galaxy collection install "git+https://github.com/netscaler/ansible-collection-netscaleradc.git" --force

I will keep this issue open for a couple of days till you respond.
