That looks like a bug in a module thats not in ansible/ansible but in [https://github.com/networktocode/ntc-ansible/blob/master/library/ntc\_config\_command.py#L244](https://github.com/networktocode/ntc-ansible/blob/master/library/ntc_config_command.py#L244)

(More specifically, like the error references, the ‘output’ var there isn’t defined there. Looks like either a indent/scope issue, or just a missing

default for ‘output’)

Should file an issue for their ntc\_config\_command module in their issue tracker at their github repo: [https://github.com/networktocode/ntc-ansible/issues](https://github.com/networktocode/ntc-ansible/issues)
