Thoughts

It was found that adding configuration: false, to the module options for the facts module, fixed this issue, but I do not believe this is the correct answer for fixing the code.

this is the root of the error

cisco.ios/plugins/module_utils/network/ios/facts/vlans/vlans.py

Line 68 in 4aed700

configuration = self._module.params["configuration"]

configuration is never set as a param in that module.

adding note, that I added it as a module option in the following, to fix it.
in the docs
https://github.com/ansible-collections/cisco.ios/blob/main/plugins/modules/ios_facts.py#L54
and a true bool here

cisco.ios/plugins/module_utils/network/ios/argspec/facts/facts.py

Line 25 in 4aed700

"available_network_resources": {"type": "bool", "default": False},

though this seems like a bad idea in terms of an additional module option. Think the logic around where its failing should likely change.
