Describe the bug

Was OK before 02/2024

With Ansible, when I commit to Panorama I have this issue. This is related to the pan-os-python as

The full traceback is:

Expected behavior

It should work with a message Commit not needed
No issues when modification are there to commit to the device.

Current behavior

Python error

 commit_response_msg = commit_response.find(\"./msg/line\").text\nAttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'\n",

Possible solution

Change line on /panos/base.py (https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/pan-os-python/blob/62bcff3bca86a5ff745eae3e92635d109673963a/panos/base.py#L4906C1-L4906C78)

to add a try except

                try:
                    commit_response_msg = commit_response.find("./msg/line").text
                except AttributeError:
                    commit_response_msg = "No message in commit response"
                self._logger.debug("No job id. Msg: " + commit_response_msg)

Steps to reproduce

1. Commit without changes

Maybe similar to #471

[antoinekh]

I have tried with success to add the following lines and this fix the issue

L4906 on base.py

    try:
        commit_response_msg = commit_response.find("./msg/line").text
    except AttributeError:
        commit_response_msg = "No message in commit response"
    self._logger.debug("No job id. Msg: " + commit_response_msg)

[antoinekh]

the problem has been added here #493 the 07/02/2024

[antoinekh]

Pull request #557

[antoinekh]

I can confirm that it works in pan-os-python 1.11.0

[mhca99]

was that fixed? I still have issue with following environment:

pan-os-python 1.12.1
pan-python    0.17.0
pandevice     0.14.0
ansible core  2.18.4
python version  3.12.3
