Error 400 "Invalid value for ipv6addr" received from Infoblox when updating ipv4 ptr record

[silviu-iordan]

Great gem, I have tried several features and they are working fine, but I have found one that is not working as expected.
It is the update for a PTR record:

connection = Infoblox::Connection.new(username: 'user', password: 'password1', host: '10.1.1.1', ssl_opts: {verify: false}, timeout: 7)
ptr_record = Infoblox::Ptr.find(connection, {ptrdname:"fqdn_host_name.com", ipv4addr: "10.97.161.5"}).first
=> #<Infoblox::Ptr:0x000055b582cefe40
@_ref="record:ptr/ZG5zLmJpbmRfcHRyJC5fZGVmYXVsdC5hcnBhLmluLWFkZHIuMTAuOTcuMTYxLjUuZGUxYXN3OTg3MDJzLTUubmV0LnZvZGFmb25lLmNvbQ:5.161.97.10.in-addr.arpa/default",
@connection=#<Infoblox::Connection:23480 @host="https://10.1.1.1">,
@disable=false,
@extattrs={},
@ipv4addr="10.97.161.5",
@ipv6addr="",
@name="5.161.97.10.in-addr.arpa",
@ptrdname="fqdn_host_name.com",
@view="default",
@zone="161.97.10.in-addr.arpa">

ptr_record.ipv4addr = "10.97.161.6"

Error received:

pry(main)> ptr_record.put
Infoblox::Error: Error: 400 { "Error": "AdmConProtoError: Invalid value for ipv6addr: "": Invalid IPv6 address",
"code": "Client.Ibap.Proto",
"text": "Invalid value for ipv6addr: "": Invalid IPv6 address"
}

I do not understand why is showing error "Invalid value for ipv6addr" when I am actually updating an ipv4 address.

@unclebilly
I have verified the issues opened and I have found a similar one, issue #43, but with Infoblox::Ptr.find
The WAPI version that we are using is 2.0:
[1] pry(main)> Infoblox.wapi_version
=> "2.0"

May you please have a look at this issue also, maybe offer a workaround.

[silviu-iordan]

There is a workaround:

• after adding "ptr_record.ipv6addr = nil" it is working fine
• inside the gem if an attribute is assigned a value of "nil" then it is no sent to the Infoblox
• Infoblox eas returning that error because I was trying to send @ipv6addr="" and this is not a valid IPv6 address value
