Update L3 Firewall Rules | Error takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

Hi All,

I'm reading the firewall rules from a network and trying to push them to another network, getting error

TypeError: Appliance.updateNetworkApplianceFirewallL3FirewallRules() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

My code is simply below, the fw_rules result in the dict with 1000+ rules

# Reading the rules

fw_rules = dashboard.appliance.getNetworkApplianceFirewallL3FirewallRules(net_id)

# Pushing the rule to another network

response = dashboard.appliance.updateNetworkApplianceFirewallL3FirewallRules(

network_id,fw_rules)

Can you share the full code please?

It's very generic error.

Use this instead

# Pushing the rule to another network 
 
response = dashboard.appliance.updateNetworkApplianceFirewallL3FirewallRules(
                    network_id,
                    rules = fw_rules
)

I think (not sure) they might need to drop the last rule - the implicit allow rule.

That's definitely not unlikely that the default rule in the end should be popped. (Although I'd expect the API to be able to handle that rule, but that's another story..)

However, then I'd expect a different error than the python error. If memory serves me right, I think it would fail within the REST call itself, and not a positional error in the function call.
