paloaltonetworks.panos.panos_static_route on 2.21.2

[patsilvafox]

Describe the bug

while creating a static route that has the nexthop_type as 'none' the playbook fails that the an empty value on nexthop is not allowed. Further the documentation seems also misleading, as it says: "Next hop IP address. Required if state=present." This shouldn't be the case for nexthop_type: 'none'.

Expected behavior

On version 2.20.0 it works as expected.

Current behavior

Error: Failed create: to_Users_10.14.27.248_29 -> nexthop is invalid"

Possible solution

Enforcing the 2.20 collection get it back to a working state.

Steps to reproduce

virtual_router: '{{ vr_router_datacenter }}'
name: 'to_Users_{{ route_name }}'
destination: '{{ user_network }}'
interface: '{{ int_tunnel }}'
nexthop_type: 'none

We have a draft PR that will resolve this issue however it depends on a change in pan-os-python. We need to wait for pan-os-python PR to be merged before merging this.

[laxman356]

do we have any update on this? Even I'm facing the same issue. Do I need to wait for the PR to be approved and merged or do we have any alternate solution that I can apply?

[alperenkose]

we have an alternative solution to this now on #589 which doesn't depend on pan-os-python, we will have this merged soon.

This has been fixed in currently released version 2.21.3.
