Ansible vault not decrypted in httpapi after include_vars or set_fact about ansible.netcommon HOT 5 CLOSED

As noted in the summary, I've tracked the problem to the following line in lib\ansible\plugins\connection\httpapi.py:241

self.httpapi.login(self.get_option('remote_user'), self.get_option('password'))

The get_options originates in lib/ansible/plugins/__init__.py. Putting the following there, will show that in the "EXPECTED RESULTS" case the decrypted password is returned (...'password': 'test',...)and in the "ACTUAL RESULTS" the vault dict is returned ('password': {'__ansible_vault': '$ANSIBLE_VAULT;1....)

        import traceback
        if option == 'password':
            raise Exception("%s -- %s" % (self._options, traceback.format_stack()))

From the other connection plugins, I've already seen that self._play_context is used. I've replace the line with

            self.httpapi.login(self._play_context.remote_user, self._play_context.password)

which worked. As I don't know the side effects of this, please review :-).

I could be wrong, but the issue looks like it is in module_utils/connection.py on line 142:

data = json.dumps(req, cls=AnsibleJSONEncoder)

Should vault_to_text=true argument be passed in here?

Looks like there's already an issue with ansible.

ansible/ansible#75503

from ansible.netcommon.

indeed - should have been fixed by: ansible/ansible#78236

from ansible.netcommon.

Closing it off, as the issue is already fixed in ansible/ansible#78236
