Use Ansible expect module without question

Hi,

I 'd like to use the expect plugin to send commands to a configuration soft that doesn’t ask questions, but only waits for instructions.

Here is how work my prog

  1. I run the programm in CLI: “loracmd -ns 127.0.0.1”
  2. I have no questions and no prompt sign
  3. I enter the commands:
    ns
    set allowRemoteConfiguration 1
    quit

And that’s it.

I have found some exemples, someting like this on the net.

  • name: Run expect to configure lora servers
    become: yes
    expect:
    command: “loracmd -ns 127.0.0.1”
    responses:
    “.*” :
  • “ns”
  • “set allowRemoteConfiguration 1”
  • “quit”
    register: result
    until: result.failed is not defined
    tags:
  • configuration-lora-net

But apparently somehting is not working as I have this error:
“msg”: “No remaining responses for ‘.*’, output was ‘’”

I am wondering as the module seems to looks for a string for question and use reg exp to find the question and answers it, maybe it’s not working for me ?

Any advices ?

Brest regards,
Charles.
