Empty iRules object when using policy.update()

[benweber2]

Hi All,

I'd like to bring an issue up that I'm seeing where iRules are being removed from a VIP when the 'Update()' method is used. See below for steps to recreate:

Step 1: Load VS configuration:

vip = mgmt.tm.ltm.virtuals.virtual.load(partition='Partition-2', name='Wordpress')

Request and response are functioning as expected.

Step 2 – update the configuration using 'Modify':

vip.modify(**{'securityLogProfiles': []})

Notice the 'Rules' variable is correctly set and populated.

Step 3, update the configuration using 'Update':

vip.update()

Notice the 'Rules' variable is empty causing iRules to be removed from the configuration.
