panos_nat_rule_facts rule_regex does not accept "$"
tom0010 opened this issue · 2 comments
Describe the bug
When using panos_nat_rule_facts and using rule_regex the module does not accept using $ at the end of the regex to stop the matching.
Expected behavior
The regex matching should work just as regex101 would.
Current behavior
Nothing is matched at all when using $ at the end of the regex.
Possible solution
N/A...
Steps to reproduce
- name: "Collect existing NAT rules in {{ item.key | upper }} on Panorama"
paloaltonetworks.panos.panos_nat_rule_facts:
provider:
ip_address: "panorama.domain.com"
username: "username"
password: "{{ ansible_ssh_pass }}"
rule_regex: ".*{{ my_var }}$" <--- tried using without a regex group
rule_regex: ".*({{ my_var }})$" <--- tried using a regex group too, but the same result
device_group: "{{ item.key | upper }}"
rulebase: "post-rulebase"
register: "result"
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {
"assertion": "result.listing | length >= 1",
"changed": false,
"evaluated_to": false,
"msg": "my-entry was not found on my_hostname."
}
Screenshots
From regex101, how the regex should react:
Context
I'm trying to gather all nat rules and then do a regex to make sure that entry is not configured on the device.
Your Environment
- Collection: 2.9.0
- Python: 3.9.4
- Ansible: 2.9.11
- PAN-OS Python Library & version (e.g. pandevice 0.14.0, pan-os-python 1.0.2): pan-os-python 1.1.1, pan-python 0.16.0
Actually this was stupid, the regex works fine, the issue was that I thought the data was returning something different.
After debugging the module I managed to find out that the data I was using regex over was different than expected.
