Tracebacks attempting to collect facts from Juniper ACX-7100-32C device with the juniper.device collection

I believe I’ve done most the initial troubleshooting including things like making sure the junos.device collection is installed as well as the pre-requisites like junos-eznc, ncclient, lxml. I am using netconf as the connection type. I tried ssh and had other errors (errors trying to sftp/scp to the device.) As I understand it netconf is the correct path forward for this collection.

I have verified with local scripts that both netconf and pyez function with the devices.

This is my playbook:

  • name: Test NETCONF connectivity with Juniper device
    hosts: juniper
    gather_facts: no
    collections:
    • juniper.device
      tasks:
    • name: Gather basic facts
      juniper.device.facts:

This is my group_)vars/juniper.yml:

group_vars/juniper.yml

ansible_user: [censored]
ansible_password:[censored]
ansible_connection: netconf
ansible_network_os: junos

The versions I am running are:
ansible [core 2.14.14]
python version = 3.9.18 (main, Jul 3 2024, 00:00:00) [GCC 11.4.1 20231218 (Red Hat 11.4.1-3)] (/usr/bin/python3)
jinja version = 3.1.2
libyaml = True
ansible --version

jinja version = 3.1.2
libyaml = True

pip show junos-eznc
Name: junos-eznc
Version: 2.7.1

ansible-galaxy collection list | grep juniper.device
juniper.device 1.0.5

I get far along but then I have the following traceback and then I’m stuc as it appears that there is some compatibility issue perhaps, unless I’m missing something. Any ideas would be appreciated.
