STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- Define a list of SSL certificates:
ssl_certs:
- "projects/my-project/global/sslCertificates/certificate-1"
- "projects/my-project/global/sslCertificates/certificate-2"- Use the google.cloud.gcp_compute_target_https_proxy module to update a target HTTPS proxy:
- name: Update target HTTPS proxy
google.cloud.gcp_compute_target_https_proxy:
name: "{{ proxy_name }}"
project: "{{ gcp_project }}"
auth_kind: serviceaccount
service_account_contents: "{{ gcp_service_account_contents }}"
url_map:
selfLink: "{{ url_map }}"
ssl_certificates: "{{ ssl_certs }}"
state: presentEXPECTED RESULTS
The module should accept the list of SSL certificates and successfully update the target HTTPS proxy with the specified certificates.
ACTUAL RESULTS
The module fails with the following error:
