Validating arguments against arg spec: Importing 'AnsibleFilterTypeError' is deprecated

Get Help
1

I’m starting to test some roles using fallible and I don’t understand what this deprecation warning means?

TASK [apt : Validating arguments against arg spec 'main'] **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
[DEPRECATION WARNING]: Importing 'AnsibleFilterTypeError' is deprecated. This feature will be removed from the 'ansible.builtin.validate_argument_spec' action plugin (requested as 'ansible_collections.ansible.builtin.plugins.action.validate_argument_spec') in version 2.23. Import 'AnsibleTypeError' instead.

Can anyone shed any light on this? Should I simply ignore it?

It you set the env var ANSIBLE_DISPLAY_TRACEBACK to deprecated, you should be able to see the specific filter plugin file that’s importing the deprecated error type.

Thanks @shertel I’m not sure how to find that from the results? What exactly am I looking for?

It looks like it’s coming from here community.general/plugins/filter/hashids.py at main · ansible-collections/community.general · GitHub. I see this isn’t something that’s been adjusted yet in Make ready for data tagging by felixfontein · Pull Request #9833 · ansible-collections/community.general · GitHub - @felixfontein do you want to contain data tagging updates to that PR, or should I open one to update that?

@shertel in the PRs I was ignoring deprecations so far, I only looked at things that break and no longer work at all :slight_smile:

I’ve seen some of these AnsibleFilterTypeError messages before, but I’m not yet sure what to do about them - the replacement, AnsibleTypeError, is only available in ansible-core 2.19, but not in other supported ansible-core versions (so we won’t be able to use it for the next ~2 years). So I guess AnsibleFilterError is a better replacement since it works in all ansible-core versions community.general supports.

Could always just do this:

try:
    from ansible.errors import AnsibleTypeError
except ImportError:
    from ansible.errors import AnsibleFilterTypeError as AnsibleTypeError

Or

import ansible.errors
try:
    AnsibleTypeError = ansible.errors.AnsibleTypeError
except AttributeError:
    AnsibleTypeError = ansible.errors.AnsibleFilterTypeError
