Port forward with Ansible and firewalld

At a short glance there seems to be syntax errors. The first error message says

ERROR: Exception caught: queryForwardPort() got an unexpected keyword argument ''to_port''

to_port, whereby it should be toport according the linked documentation of the firewalld_module. Since your are on ansible.posix.collections v1.3.0 and there is bug report open according Ansible Collections Ansible Posix Issue #247, were downgrading to v1.2.0 fix the issue, another approach might be according Ansible Issue #28349 using the parameter rich_rule. That would work for v1.1.1 too.

- name: Redirect port 443 to 8443
  firewalld:
    rich_rule: rule family={{ item }} forward-port port=443 protocol=tcp to-port=8443
    zone:      public
    permanent: true
    immediate: true
    state:     enabled
  with_items:
    - ipv4
    - ipv6

To get the older version you could use

ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.posix:1.2.0

The syntax error is in the file ansible.posix/plugins/modules/firewalld.py and seems to be simple enough that one can fix it on hisself locally on behalf.
