zabbix_template resource doesn't work with Zabbix 4.0

[gdubicki]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 5.5.2
• Ruby: incuded in ^ puppet
• Distribution: Centos 7
• Module version: 6.5.0

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

zabbix_template { $name:
      template_source => "${template_dir}/${name}.xml",
      zabbix_url      => $zabbix_wrapper::server::config['zabbix_url'],
      zabbix_user     => $zabbix_wrapper::server::api_user,
      zabbix_pass     => $zabbix_wrapper::server::api_pass,
      apache_use_ssl  => true,
}

..with appropriate values to access my Zabbix instance API.

What are you seeing

Error: /Stage[main]/Zabbix_wrapper::Server::Templates/Zabbix_template[MY_TEMPLATE]: Could not evaluate: Zabbix API version: 4.0.0 is not support by this version of zabbixapi

What behaviour did you expect instead

It should work as 6.5.0 adds Zabbix 4.0 compatibility.

Any additional information you'd like to impart

I assume that this is a problem with zabbixapi gem, so I have already created express42/zabbixapi#91 , but that project seems to have a problem with maintenance (express42/zabbixapi#88), so it would be great if you guys do something about it (I would love to help but Ruby is my weak spot...).

Sorry, but I'm not really sure how we can help out here :(.

Maybe we should switch puppet-zabbix to a fork of zabbixapi with removed hard-coded list of supported Zabbix versions until zabbixapi starts to be maintained again, @bastelfreak ?

PS We should mark this issue as a bug as https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-zabbix/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md states that this module is Zabbix 4.0-compatible since v6.5.0.

[bastelfreak]

as long as a fork is available on rubygems and we can properly depend on and, that would be fine.

I have become maintainer of zabbixapi gem and released v4.0.0 with Zabbix 3.4 and 4.0 support. Please see the PR linked above.
