Description
Module cisco.aci.aci_rest does not work in ansible-core 2.19.0.
- It seems that integer parameter values are misinterpreted: the 1st numeral of an integer parameter value is somehow stripped; see example below.
- Platform: Python 3.13.5, macOS 15.6, Apple M1
- Authentication: local user, certificate-based
Affected Module Name(s):
- aci_rest
APIC version and APIC Platform
- V5.2.8i and on-prem.
Collection versions
- cisco.aci 2.12.0

Expected Behavior
I expected that our tasks that make use of module cisco.aci.aci_rest work as before in ansible-core 2.18.x.
Actual Behavior
Any task that feeds an integer parameter value to cisco.aci.aci_rest fails in ansible-core 2.19.0. Portchannel member policy (lacpIfPol) is just an example. E.g. the behaviour for other policies (link level: fabricHIfPol) that make use of integer parameter values is similar: The 1st numeral of the value is stripped and the remaining number is printed in the error output.
