Hi,
I installed ansible.utils ansible colelctions and used native parser and XML parser (as Pyats genie parser did not work for a command i need to parse). But iam getting below error and not sure why it happens expecially when iam following the syntax as given in documentation. Any pointers would be of great help. - name: Run command and parse with xml ansible.utils.cli_parse: command: "show interface" parser: name: ansible.utils.xml os: ios register: parser_output - debug: var=parser_output.stdout_lines TASK [Run command and parse with xml] ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** fatal: [TEST2960]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "/bin/sh: 1: show: not found\n", "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tasks: - name: GATHER SHOW IP ios_command: commands: "show ip interface brief" register: show_ip - name: Pass text and parse with xml ansible.utils.cli_parse: text: "{{ show_ip['stdout'] }}" parser: name: ansible.utils.xml register: parser_output TASK [Pass text and parse with xml] ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* fatal: [TEST2960]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "XML parser returned an error while parsing.
