gcp_compute_route fails every time for more than a year

[nkakouros]

SUMMARY

gcp_compute_route fails with a TypeError.

This is a transfer of ansible/ansible#55153.

It is more than a year that you are offering a module that breaks your users' apps. Your modules deprecated community ones that could at least perform what they claimed they do. Could there at least be some professionalism and some community feedback here?

[theHilikus]

crazy how many of these modules are completely broken

[nkakouros]

This seems to have been resolved.
