Creation of external repository - Idempotency fails

[ClaireHayard]

Scenario/Intent

Hello,

I am using the oneview_repositories plugin to create an external repository on OneView, however running the code a second time doesn't garantee idempotency.

main.yml

- name: Create an external repository
  hpe.oneview.oneview_repositories:
    state: present
    config: "{{ config }}"
    data:
      repositoryName: "{{ repository_name }}"
      userName: "{{ repository_username }}"
      password: "{{ repository_password }}"
      repositoryURI: "{{ repository_uri }}"
      repositoryType: "{{ repository_type }}"
  delegate_to: localhost

Environment Details

• OneView Ansible Collection: v6.5.0
• OneView Appliance Version: 6.10
• Ansible version: 2.9.6
• Python version: 3.6.10

Expected Result

Idempotency is respected when running the playbook a second time. I understand that only one external repository can be present on a given OneView but the second execution should not throw an error, only ignore the task as there was no changes.

Actual Result

Result of the first ansible-playbook command:
