SUMMARY

When ansible.netcommon v5.0.0 is installed, the following fatal error is reported when running cisco.nxos.nxos_facts:

fatal: [switch]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Could not find imported module support code for ansible_collections.cisco.nxos.plugins.modules.nxos_facts.  Looked for (['ansible_collections.ansible.netcommon.plugins.module_utils.network.common.network_template.NetworkTemplate', 'ansible_collections.ansible.netcommon.plugins.module_utils.network.common.network_template'])"}

This is likely due to import-related breaking changes introduced in v5.0.0 of ansible.netcommon.

OS / ENVIRONMENT

Ansible control node is on Ubuntu 22.04, target devices are running NX-OS 7.3(12)N1(1) (but shouldn't be relevant).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Simply try to run cisco.nxos.nxos_facts (or theoretically any module in this collection) against a device when ansible.netcommon v5.0.0 is installed.

EXPECTED RESULTS

No error messages are anticipated when this module is executed.

ACTUAL RESULTS
fatal: [switch]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Could not find imported module support code for ansible_collections.cisco.nxos.plugins.modules.nxos_facts.  Looked for (['ansible_collections.ansible.netcommon.plugins.module_utils.network.common.network_template.NetworkTemplate', 'ansible_collections.ansible.netcommon.plugins.module_utils.network.common.network_template'])"}

@ChristopherJHart This should have been fixed with v4.1.0 that was released 2 weeks ago. I see that you're using v4.0.1, can you please try to upgrade and let us know if it works? Thank you.

Ah, apologies - I thought I was running 4.1.0, but got my wires crossed. Troubleshooting issues late at night when you're fatigued is a bad combination :D Upgrading to 4.1.0 fixed this issue. Thank you!
