Deleting record not working?

[raidenii]

Hi,

I'm using the latest inwx module (1.3.0) from Ansible galaxy but seems deleting records is not working?

A sample playbook:

- hosts: localhost
  vars:
    domains:
      - domain1:
        tld: "my.domain.com"

  tasks:
    - name: delete acme challenge dns
      inwx.collection.dns:
        domain: "{{ item.tld }}"
        type: TXT  
        record: "_acme_challenge"
        username: "username"
        value: "removed"
        password: 'somepass'
        state: absent
      loop: "{{ domains | flatten(levels=1) }}"

If the parameter does not specify value, the module will return a

 "result": {
        "api_response": {
            "code": 2005,
            "msg": "Parameter value syntax error",
            "reason": "The given parameter value for 'content' does not match the expected parameter type 'text1024'",
            "reasonCode": "The given parameter value for 'content' does not match the expected parameter type 'text1024'"
        }
    }

which does not match what the documentation said - when state is absent it should not need a value.

But even with value defined, it returns changed = False and the TXT records are not deleted. Also tried record: "_acme_challenge.my.domain.com" but still the records are not deleted.

Looks like when content is included in the payload for get_records, INWX API will do an exact match against it (and throws an error if it's "").

A naive way to fix would be changing the get_records function slightly:

...
    elif content != "":
        result = call_api_authenticated(module, 'nameserver.info', {
            'domain': str(module.params['domain']),
            'type': str(module.params['type']),
            'name': get_record_fqdn(module),
            'content': content
        })
    else:
        result = call_api_authenticated(module, 'nameserver.info', {
            'domain': str(module.params['domain']),
            'type': str(module.params['type']),
            'name': get_record_fqdn(module)
        })
...

I can confirm this issue. Trying to delete wildcard records but debug information also shows changed:false.

I can also confirm this issue and also the recommend quick fix.
