Hello,

I installed Ansible(2.2.1.0), the Juniper.junos(1.4.0) role from Ansible galaxy with junos-eznc (2.1.1). I tried to create a test playbook to obtain the version of my test switch as shown below.

I’ve resolved this. There was an update made to junos-eznc that broke the version of Juniper-junos on Ansible-Galaxy. I had to pull a more recent version from the git repo.
