AnsibleError: template error while templating string: no filter named 'ipaddr'

[Peter Struys]

While running setup-hosts from stable/wallaby this error occurs :AnsibleError: template error while templating string: no filter named 'ipaddr'

Apparantly in version 2.6 of ansible netcommon the filter ipaddr was move to ansible utils.

Old location on working deploy server in production environment which has ansible netcommon version 2.1: /etc/ansible/ansible_collections/ansible/netcommon/plugins/filter/ipaddr.py

New location on test deploy server which has ansible netcommon version 2.6 : /etc/ansible/ansible_collections/ansible/utils/plugins/filter/ipaddr.py

Hi Peter

We aware of the issue and already pushed https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/openstack-ansible/+/831536 to cover that

Fix is merged for stable/wallaby and stable/victoria. We will release new version as soon as land fix for Xena.

In the meanwhile, I can suggest you workaround. You can create file /etc/openstack_deploy/user-collection-requirements.yml with content:

---
collections:
  - name: https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.netcommon
    version: 2.5.1
    type: git

And re-run scripts/bootstrap-ansible.sh to pull in collection version

Great. Thx for the prompt reply.

I manually downloaded and installed netcommon 2.5.1 but your suggestion is more elegant. The playbook setup-hosts now runs with succes.

regards
Peter
