infra.ah_configuration.ah_api plugin gives "'AHAPIModule' object has no attribute '_debug'"

[Alex-Bron]

Summary

I am trying to use the infra.ah_configuration.ah_api plugin to retrieve the number of collections in a certain collection repository. So the code for this is:

- name: Print the number of rh-certified collections
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    msg: "{{ query('infra.ah_configuration.ah_api', 'collections', 'repository=rh_certified', 'host=https://' + ah_hostname, 'username=' + ah_username, 'password=' + ah_password) }}"

However running this playbook always results in an error:

TASK [handle_collections : Print the number of rh-certified collections] ***
Sunday 15 October 2023  19:02:03 +0000 (0:00:03.204)       0:00:07.659 ******** 
fatal: [hub]: FAILED! => {"msg": "An unhandled exception occurred while running the lookup plugin 'infra.ah_configuration.ah_api'. Error was a <class 'AttributeError'>, original message: 'AHAPIModule' object has no attribute '_debug'. 'AHAPIModule' object has no attribute '_debug'"}

I changed the parameters to match the exact examples, but always get this AHAPImodule error. Is there a prerequisite that I'm not aware of, or is the code really broken?

Desired Behavior

I would like to retrieve information from my Automation Hub for further use\

Actual Behavior

I always get the error
Error was a <class 'AttributeError'>, original message: 'AHAPIModule' object has no attribute '_debug'.

Please give some details of what is actually happening.
Include a [minimum complete verifiable example] with:

• playbook / task
• configuration file / list
• error

- name: Sync Red Hat Certified repo
  infra.ah_configuration.collection_repository_sync:
    name: rh-certified
    wait: true
    ah_host: "{{ ah_hostname }}"
    ah_username: "{{ ah_username }}"
    ah_password: "{{ ah_password }}"
    validate_certs: "{{ ah_validate_certs | default(true) }}"
  register: rh_certified_sync

- name: Print the number of rh-certified collections
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    msg: "{{ query('infra.ah_configuration.ah_api', 'collections', 'repository=rh_certified', 'host=https://' + ah_hostname, 'username=' + ah_username, 'password=' + ah_password) }}"
    msg: "Users: {{ query('infra.ah_configuration.ah_api', 'users', return_all=true) | map(attribute='username') | list }}"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

- name: Print the number of rh-certified collections
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    msg: "{{ query('infra.ah_configuration.ah_api', 'collections', 'repository=rh_certified', 'host=https://' + ah_hostname, 'username=' + ah_username, 'password=' + ah_password) }}"
    msg: "Users: {{ query('infra.ah_configuration.ah_api', 'users', return_all=true) | map(attribute='username') | list }}"

ah_host: automation hub hostname
ah_username: user with sufficient privileges on automation hub
ah_password: password of that user

@Alex-Bron I faced the same issue.

I was able to make it work by using ENV variables instead of playbook variables:
AH_HOST, AH_USERNAME, AH_PASSWORD

Looks like the lookup plugin doesn't load the playbook/extra variables properly.

[Alex-Bron]

It was my bad - I can close this issue. I should not have put the "'host=https://' + ah_hostname, 'username=' + ah_username, 'password=' + ah_password" between quotes.

So correct syntax here was:
__rh_certified: {{ lookup('infra.ah_configuration.ah_api', 'collections', 'rh-certified', host=ah_hostname, username=ah_username, password=ah_password, return_all=true) }}
