In 2.0 we have module_utils/ssh.py (to be renamed) that is the core of
shared code for future  modules that will deal with that kind of switch.

Re: [ansible-project] Raw module and interactive commands

[theyuseus]

Is there a tutorial anywhere about how to get started using the expect 
module?  I've installed pexpect but when I try to use it in a playbook it 
fails with this message:

ERROR: expect is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler

Based on what I've found (I could only find 2-3 examples, there doesn't 
seem to be any documentation other than 
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/expect_module.html, which doesn't 
adequately explain how to use it), the playbook should look something like 
this.

  tasks:
  - expect:
command: save primary
responses:
  Do you want to save configuration to primary.cfg and overwrite it\? 
\(y/N\): "Y"

Am I missing something?  This page says that the extra's modules is shipped 
with ansible, is that still accurate? 
 https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/modules_extra.html

Re: [ansible-project] Raw module and interactive commands

[theyuseus]

I've uninstalled and reinstalled version 1.9.4 and it isn't with it.  I 
downloaded it from github and added "library = 
/path/to/ansible/modules:/path/to/extras" to the ansible.cfg file, had to 
fix my command to the following text

  - expect:
  command: save primary
  responses:
Do you want to save configuration to primary.cfg and overwrite it\? 
\(y/N\): "Y"
 
but I still get an error.  It looks like ansible is still trying to copy a 
file to the switch.  The switches don't allow files to be copied to them. 
 I'm guessing I can't use the expect module after all.

fatal: [sw_s1-6] => Authentication or permission failure.  In some cases, 
you may have been able to authenticate and did not have permissions on the

The Ansible expect module will be shipped with 2.0. The current released

On investigation it appears that I do not have the expect module.  I 
thought I installed ansible with pip install ansible, but I earlier tried 
homebrew but it didn't work.  Maybe something got messed up.  I guess I'll 
try to figure out how to fix my installation.

Re: [ansible-project] Raw module and interactive commands

[Brian Coca]

It still won't work with the switch as it is a module, which NEEDS to
be copied to the target and then executed via python, raw is the only
'module' that does not do this, it is really a special case inside
Ansible and not a real module.

In 2.0 we are adding the scaffolding to deal with switches, we will
also be adding modules to manage them that take into account the
quirks they have.

Re: [ansible-project] Raw module and interactive commands

[theyuseus]

Extreme Networks' EXOS.  It's Linux based but doesn't have Python or other 
languages except one that I can't remember it's heritage (TCL maybe?).  I 
think the prompt is a heavily modified BusyBox or something.

I'm not sure how I would go about testing those 2 modules.  I could try 
them if you think they might work.  I can use the raw module to send 
commands and get back results, I just can't find any way around some of the 
interactive prompts.

I believe Extreme is working on adding Ansible support to their OS, but my 
switches won't can't be upgraded to any newer versions so I can't get those 
updates.

That's great news, especially as I have written an ugly bit of bash this
week to bulk unset and reset the correct ntp servers on all out Cisco
switches...

No, its completely batch, you can try the expect module for interactive
prompts.

What switch are you trying to send commands to?   

We have started to incorporate network device support into the module_utils 
for connecting to interactive devices over ssh with initial support for IOS 
based devices.   See here for the IOS shared module support 
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/13358/files) and here 
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/pull/2587/files) for an 
example module
