Handling Prompt in Cisco IOS_CONFIG module

[R.B. Kumar]

Hello All -  Using Ansible v2.7  

I am tying to execute Cisco IOS commands that prompts to type Y/N.  Looks like the Prompt: is not available in ios_config module. For example

- name: delete_crypto_map

   ios_config:

   lines:

     - no crypto pki trustpoint CTA

     - yes

The above script doesnt work as the logs shows connection error: timeout value 10 seconds reached while trying to send command

Looks like the after executing the command  no crypto pki trustpoint CTA the Y/N is prompted by the ansible is not sending Y to the prompt

The prompt: works for ios_commands: module but doesnt work on ios_config: 

Do you have any experience on this kind of requirement or thoughts please?

Can anybody have requirement similar to this? I tried with cli_command, ios_command too.. 

[R.B. Kumar]

I got the answer from another forum. It is just a workaround only using cli_command module

I read ansible 2.7 dont support prompt in ios_config. 
We need to user ios_command with loop as below

- name: delete_crypto_map

   cli_command:

   command: "{{ item }}"

    prompt:

        - "Are you sure you want to do this"

    answer: 'yes'

    loop:

     - config t     

     -  no crypto pki trustpoint CTA

Yes, ios_config does not support prompting, Can you disable prompting and re-enable once a task is done?
