    Just for anyone else who read this, the issue was a local execution 

     

      connection: local

     

    this causes the system to SSH to itself and there is no tmsh on the ansible host.   removing this line and then adding delegate_to: localhost when calling a BIG-IP module solved this issue.  it allows the playbook to remote execute the code via SSH

     

    After removing it and fixing a few code tweaks we were able to launch the code

ansible 2.10.10
python version = 3.9.5 (default, May 26 2021, 13:42:02) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44)]

The version that we are using is little different though.

Let me work on the rest of the code i never went through it all i just tested that section that you were having an issue with in the execution of the script, i can test out my Dummy VM here in a few hrs and let u know about the upgrade path.

One thing i would check is your ansible version but also your Galaxy Collections Version mine is the below i probably should update to latest to verify no bugs tho.

[dasaint@DS9 ~]$ ansible-galaxy collection list |grep -i f5
f5networks.f5_modules         1.15.0
