Declaration deployment produces an non-descriptive error message "betaOptions"!

[jewettg]

Environment

• Application Services Version: 3.50.2
• f5-appsvcs 3.50.2 Build: 3 f5-appsvcs-3.50.2-3.noarch
• f5-service-discovery 1.19.0 Build: 1 f5-service-discovery-1.19.0-1.noarch
• BIG-IP Version: BIG-IP 17.1.1.1 Build 0.0.2 Point Release 1

Summary

I have F5 support also looking into this with case 00601595. Strange "betaOptions" error presented with no other context to indicate what the failure is, when submitting the declaration. I am using the Ansible module to deploy the declaration as follows:

- name: "Deploy AS3 configuration to tenant"
  f5networks.f5_bigip.bigip_as3_deploy:
    content: "{{ gh_content }}"
    tenant: Common

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Submit the following declaration:

   
   {
   "class": "ADC",
   "schemaVersion": "3.37.0",
   "id": "urn:uuid:e8721eba-8d92-4b3d-a8fa-04effbcc7bc3",
   "label": "Converted Declaration",
   "remark": "Generated by Automation Config Converter",
   "Common": {
       "class": "Tenant",
       "Shared": {
           "class": "Application",
           "template": "shared",
           "five_alive_80_vs": {
               "remark": "fivealive-n",
               "layer4": "tcp",
               "iRules": [
                   {
                       "use": "/Common/Shared/five_alive_ir"
                   }
               ],
               "translateServerAddress": true,
               "translateServerPort": true,
               "class": "Service_HTTP",
               "profileHTTP": {
                   "use": "/Common/Shared/std_http_prof",
                   "bigip": "/Common/tcp"
               },
               "profileTCP": {
                   "bigip": "/Common/tcp"
               },
               "virtualAddresses": [
                   "146.6.219.130"
               ],
               "virtualPort": 80,
               "snat": "none"
           },
           "std_http_prof": {
               "unknownMethodAction": "allow",
               "insertHeader": {
                   "name": "nsclientip",
                   "value": "[IP::remote_addr]"
               },
               "xForwardedFor": true,
               "proxyType": "reverse",
               "class": "HTTP_Profile"
           },
           "five_alive_ir": {
               "class": "iRule",
               "iRule": {
                   "base64": "d2hlbiBIVFRQX1JFUVVFU1QgewogICAgSFRUUDo6cmVzcG9uZCAyMDAgLXZlcnNpb24gYXV0byBjb250ZW50IHsKICAgICAgICA8aHRtbD4KICAgICAgICAgICAgPGhlYWQ+CiAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICA8dGl0bGU+CiAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgU3VjY2VzcyEKICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgIDwvdGl0bGU+CiAgICAgICAgICAgIDwvaGVhZD4KICAgICAgICAgICAgPGJvZHk+CiAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICBZb3UgZm91bmQgdXMhCiAgICAgICAgICAgIDwvYm9keT4KICAgICAgICA8L2h0bWw+CiAgICB9Cn0="
               }
           }
       }
   }
   }

2. Observe the following error response:
```json
fatal: [f5-r5900-test-a.its.utexas.edu]: FAILED! => {
    "changed": false,
    "module_stderr": "'betaOptions'",
    "module_stdout": "",
    "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error"
}

Expected Behavior

Deployment of configuration to succeed.

Actual Behavior

An odd and and very non-descriptive error message "betaOptions" is presented upon declaration deployment attempt.

UPDATE

This appears to be behavior introduced in 3.50.x versions. The above "betaOptions" error appears in both 3.50.1-2 and 3.50.2-3.

Upon downgrading the AS3 package on my F5 to version (3.49.0-6), the error message is no longer presented and the declaration deploys successfully.

QUESTION remains, what does "betaOptions" mean, and why is that a valid error message?

[mdditt2000]

@jewettg we introduced beta options for Per-APP-API. However Per-App API went GA is version 50.

If you GET https://10.192.75.63:443/mgmt/shared/appsvcs/settings using pre as3-50 you will see betaOptions. Post 3-50 you now see

{ "asyncTaskStorage": "data-group", "perAppDeploymentAllowed": true, "burstHandlingEnabled": false, ---- Replaced beta options. "performanceTracingEnabled": false, "performanceTracingEndpoint": "", "serializeFileUploads": false, "serviceDiscoveryEnabled": true, "webhook": "" }

[mdditt2000]

@jewettg remove line 25 "bigip": "/Common/tcp" from HTTP Profile. Works fine on AS3 50.
