Runtime Error from Juniper.junos role

[Daniel Ratcliffe]

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.

---

- name: Get Device Facts

  hosts: juniper

  roles:

    - Juniper.junos

  connection: local

  gather_facts: no

  tasks:

    - name: Checking NETCONF connectivity

      wait_for: host={{ inventory_hostname }} port=830 timeout=5

    - name: Get Facts

      junos_get_facts:

        host={{ inventory_hostname }}

        savedir=/home/dratcliffe/ansible

      register: junos

    - name: Show Version

      debug: msg="{{ junos.facts.version }}" 

when I run the playback I get the following error.

[user@ansible ~]$ ansible-playbook test.yml

PLAY [Get Device Facts] ********************************************************

TASK [Checking NETCONF connectivity] *******************************************

ok: [X.X.X.X]

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: RuntimeError: facts are read-only!

fatal: [X.X.X.X]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "module_stderr": "Traceback (most recent call last):\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_SkXS6C/ansible_module_junos_get_facts.py\", line 235, in <module>\n    main()\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_SkXS6C/ansible_module_junos_get_facts.py\", line 176, in main\n    dev.facts['has_2RE'] = dev.facts['2RE']\n  File \"/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jnpr/junos/factcache.py\", line 171, in __setitem__\n    raise RuntimeError(\"facts are read-only!\")\nRuntimeError: facts are read-only!\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE"}

to retry, use: --limit @/home/dratcliffe/test.retry

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************

X.X.X.X              : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1   

It seems when it gets the facts it tried to write something and I get an error saying it is read-only? Has anyone encountered this?

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.

Hi Daniel,

Would you please share how did you upgrade? I am also getting similar error.
