command timeout triggered, timeout value is 60 secs - Mikrotik

[Saurav Gupta]

Hi All,

I am trying to configure one line command on Mikoritk but getting below error -

- hosts: routers
  connection: local
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
    - name: Configure username
      routeros_command:
        commands:
           - user add name=ansible group=full password=test1234
           - quit

"command timeout triggered, timeout value is 60 secs"

I can see ssh login to device but it does not run the command.

here the details of ansible 

ansible [core 2.15.9]
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/saurav/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /home/saurav/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.10.12 (main, Nov 20 2023, 15:14:05) [GCC 11.4.0] (/usr/bin/python3)
  jinja version = 3.0.3
  libyaml = True

According to https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/routeros/docsite/ssh-guide.html#important-notes

The community.routeros.command module does not support nesting commands and expects every command to start with a forward slash (/). Running the following command will produce an error:

- community.routeros.command:
    commands:
      - /ip
      - print

It's the "… and expects every command to start with a forward slash (/)" bit that I suspect is your problem.
While you're fixing things, use the FQCN: "community.routeros.command". "[community.network.]routeros_command" is deprecated.

Hi Todd,

Thanks for your reply.

I have used the other script with  community.routeros.command and receiving the same error with "/" and without"/"

 hosts: routers
  connection: local
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
    - name: Configure username

      community.routeros.command:
        commands:
           - /user add name=ansible group=full password=test 
           

Any other thought ?
