Missing imported module AnsibleValidationError.py with version 2.1.6

[peterbuza]

Hi Team! After I upgraded FortiManager Galaxy module from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6 I received the following error when executing the fortimanager module.

{
  "msg": "Could not find imported module support code for napi.  Looked for either AnsibleValidationError.py or errors.py",
  "_ansible_no_log": false
}

I found that Fortimanager module /plugins/module_utils/napy.py module introduced a new import for "AnsibleValidationError" (from ansible.module_utils.errors import AnsibleValidationError), but this is not in the ansible python modules. Ansible version meets the requirements 2.9+:

bash-4.4# ansible --version
ansible 2.9.18
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/var/lib/awx/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.6.8 (default, Aug 24 2020, 17:57:11) [GCC 8.3.1 20191121 (Red Hat 8.3.1-5)]

Can I fix this somehow with the current Ansible version?

Thanks in advance.

hi @peterbuza Peter,

thanks so much for letting us know the issue. we will fix it and release it immediately, meanwhile, you can install latest ansible pip3 install ansible-core as a workaround.

hi @peterbuza Peter,

we have a new release 2.1.7 which covers the fix, you could cover your 2.1.6 by ansible-galaxy collection install -fn fortinet.fortimanager, please let me know if the issue persists in your env.

thanks, Link.
