deep nested argument-spec is not getting validated

I’am writing a new module and the argument spec is like this

member_spec = dict(
pwwn=dict(required=True, type=‘str’, aliases=[‘interface’, ‘device-alias’]),
devtype=dict(type=‘str’, choices=[‘initiator’, ‘target’, ‘both’])
)

zoneadd_spec = dict(
zonename=dict(type=‘str’, required=True),
members=dict(type=‘list’, element=‘dict’, options=member_spec)
)

zonedetails_spec = dict(
vsanid=dict(required=True, type=‘int’),
mode=dict(type=‘str’, choices=[‘enhanced’, ‘basic’]),
default_zone=dict(type=‘str’, choices=[‘permit’, ‘deny’]),
smart_zoning=dict(type=‘bool’),
zone_remove=dict(type=‘list’, elements=‘str’),
zone_add=dict(type=‘list’, elements=‘dict’, options=zoneadd_spec)
)

argument_spec = dict(
zone_details=dict(type=‘list’, elements=‘dict’, options=zonedetails_spec)
)

My play is like this:

  • name: Test that zone module works
    nxos_zone:
    provider: “{{ creds }}”
    zone_details:
  • vsanid: 1
    mode: enhanced
    smart_zoning: yes
    default_zone: permit
    zone_add:
  • zonename: zone1
    members:
  • {device-alias: ‘abc’, devtype: ‘bo’}
  • {pwn: ‘11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11’, dvtype: ‘initiator’}
  • {interface: ‘fc1/2’, devtype: ‘target’}
  • zonename: zone2
    members:
  • {device-alias: ‘abc’}
  • {pwwn: ‘11:11:11:11:11:11:11:11’}
  • vsanid: 2
    mode: basic
    smart_zoning: no
    default_zone: deny
    zone_remove:
  • zone32
  • zone56

When i run this play there was no error seen, i was expecting an error because
Notice that the devtype is ‘bo’ instead of ‘both’ and key is ‘pwn’ instead of ‘pwwn’ and instead of ‘devtype’ i have ‘dvtype’

So looks like basically ‘member_spec’ is not getting validated, any reason?

The “members” option "zoneadd_spec " spec should have “elements” instead of “element”> members=dict(type=‘list’, elements=‘dict’, options=member_spec)
