ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

ANSIBLE VERSION

ansible --version
ansible 2.10.7

ansible-galaxy list | grep ansible.network
- ansible-network.network-engine, v2.7.5

Network OS

• Debian GNU/Linux 10

SUMMARY

After upgrade ansible from 2.9.18 to 2.10, I was no longer able to run my playbooks with network-engine.

The error was "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ansible.module_utils.network_common'"

In file

  ~/.ansible/roles/ansible-network.network-engine/action_plugins/command_parser.py

I had to change line 26

  from ansible.module_utils.network_common import to_list

to

  from ansible_collections.ansible.netcommon.plugins.module_utils.network.common.utils import to_list

And in file:

  ~/.ansible/roles/ansible-network.network-engine/lib/network_engine/utils.py

I had to change line 13

  from ansible.module_utils.network.common.utils import sort_list

to

  from ansible_collections.ansible.netcommon.plugins.module_utils.network.common.utils import sort_list

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

---
- hosts: branches
  gather_facts: no

  tasks:
    - name: import the network-engine role
      import_role:
        name: ansible-network.network-engine

    - name: Generate global_facts as JSON
      command_parser:
        file: my_parsers.yml
        content: "{{ inventory_hostname }} "

EXPECTED RESULTS

No errors at all.

ACTUAL RESULTS

ERROR! Unexpected Exception, this is probably a bug: No module named 'ansible.module_utils.network_common'
the full traceback was:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "~/.ansible/roles/ansible-network.network-engine/action_plugins/command_parser.py", line 23, in <module>
    from ansible.module_utils.network.common.utils import to_list

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

[zendritic]

I have this same issue.

@iaalmeida @zendritic take a look at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/cli_parsing.html

This is effectively retired and moved into the Ansible netcommon libraries.

Issue #246 was opened to have this repo marked as archive.
