friendly ping

Sorry for the delay - got pretty sick.

1. plugins/module_utils/main/nginx_upstream_server.py As the description is already set to required in the modules/nginx_upstream_server.py this additional check is not needed. You may be able to remove the whole check method as it will fall-back to the default module behavior.

2. plugins/modules/nginx_upstream_server.py Please add aliases=['name'] to the description parameter as this is a basic convention of ansible-modules.

3. tests/nginx_upstream_server.yml Remove the ipsec_psk tests. If not done yet - try to run the tests on your OPNSense box as seen in the developer docs

[atammy-narmi]

Ooh, sorry to hear that. Hope you're better now. Thanks for the review, will do the updates this week.

[ansibleguy]

Thanks. I hope it is understandable how to run the tests. You could also skip the tests, but I like them as they make the maintenance easier

[ansibleguy]

@atammy-narmi Please contact me if there is something unclear to you.

Sorry, irl work has been more pressing so this was on backburner. will try to work some more soon.

[atammy-narmi]

OK, I've added documentation and testing and the nginx_general module. I'm still unable to get everything to work correctly.

• The nginx_general isn't able to disable/enable nginx. Can I get some pointers on what's wrong with it?
• nginx_upstream will need nginx reload to work. And it seems like nginx reload isn't supported by the API and will need some kind of custom calls - https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/blob/68039e95fd92cfa8601da30e0c10f8747a6c3724/www/nginx/src/opnsense/mvc/app/controllers/OPNsense/Nginx/Api/ServiceController.php#L32

Understand that. I too currently am pretty held-up in some projects

The nginx_general error was only a test-issue. The module seems to work (:

My debug workflow:

• Disable the failed_when of the failing task
• Add debug: true to the failing task (is a valid parameter for all of the modules of this collection - shows you some details like performed API calls)
• Run the tests: bash scripts/test_single.sh "$TEST_FIREWALL" "$TEST_API_KEY" $(pwd) nginx_general 1
• Analyse the debug output and fix the task or module ;b

[ansibleguy]

The service actions like restart and reload seem to be supported by the API: https://docs.opnsense.org/development/api/plugins/nginx.html#id3

You can see those API calls using the developer console:

This API can be manually triggered using the service module

But if you set debug: true on a single task - you can see that the reconfigure call is done automatically IF some config has changed:

- name: Enabling - should work
  ansibleguy.opnsense.nginx_general:
    enabled: true
    debug: true

BTW: Don't worry @superstes is my default user - just forgot to change the git config (;

Great, thanks a bunch. That will help a lot with testing!
