Hi,
I had been using the Juniper.junos modules from Ansible Galaxy successfully for a while now, but had been asked to update my python environment to corporate standards through Conda, which included newer versions of most modules. Ever since the update, I have been unable to use either the native junos_config module, nor the old junos_install_config. The junos_install_config now complains about the following, using that the exact same configuration files as before:
/private/etc/ansible/roles/Juniper.junos/library/junos_install_config:198: SyntaxWarning: import * only allowed at module level
def _load_via_netconf(module):
{“msg”: “Error: Module unable to decode valid JSON on stdin. Unable to figure out what parameters were passed”, “failed”: true}
Because of that error, I decided that I might as well update the playbooks to use the new native modules instead. However, when I try to push the configuration, he’re the output I get:
TASK [Pushing config … please wait] **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [switch]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “msg”: “one of candidate or rollback must be specified”}
I looked a bit at the code to find what was candidate variable and as I expected, it seems to point to what src is. I’ve also validated through debug that the path is valid, so I really have no idea where to look afterwards.
Here’s the playbook:
- name: Apply configuration
hosts: all
connection: local
gather_facts: no
vars:
junos_creds:
username: “{{ ansible_ssh_user }}”
host: “{{ ansible_ssh_host }}”
port: “{{ netconf_port }}”
tasks: - name: Pushing config … please wait
when: config_changed is defined
junos_config: >
provider: “{{ junos_creds }}”
src: {{ junos_conf }}
update: override
comment: Test pushed by ansible
Here’s the detailed debug:
