sros network modules in ansible 2.7.0

[DC]

Ansible newbie here.  I'm trying to learn about network_cli so installed a recent version of ansible

 ansible --version

ansible 2.7.0

  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

  configured module search path = [u'/home/ubuntu/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']

  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible

  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible

  python version = 2.7.15rc1 (default, Apr 15 2018, 21:51:34) [GCC 7.3.0]

It appears the first task/commands executes ok, but as soon as I add a second task in the playbook (even a debug task) I end up with the error:

TASK [sros_command] ****************************************************************************************

task path: /tmp/sros.yml:7

The full traceback is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/bin/ansible-connection", line 290, in main

    messages.extend(conn.update_play_context(pc_data))

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible/module_utils/connection.py", line 173, in __rpc__

    raise ConnectionError(to_text(msg, errors='surrogate_then_replace'), code=code)

ConnectionError: 'Connection' object has no attribute 'reset_history'

fatal: [sr]: FAILED! => {

    "msg": "'Connection' object has no attribute 'reset_history'"

}

Even trying to revert back to using 'provider' and 'connection: local' fails with a similar error.

Thanks,

DC

Hi,

Could you please raise a bug at https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/new/choose and include the two tasks (and any group_vars/inventory, etc)

Kind regards,

Here is a perfect example of the bug, also using Ansible 2.7.0:

- name: TWO TASKS BREAKS SROS

  hosts: sros

  connection: local

  gather_facts: no

  vars_files:

  - group_vars/all

  tasks:

  - name: Get Router system name

    sros_command:

      provider: "{{ router_auth }}"

      commands: show system information | match "System Name"

    register: system_name

  - debug:

      var: system_name

  - name: Configure VPLS service

    sros_config:

      provider: "{{ router_auth }}"

      parents:

        - configure service

        - vpls "{{ internet_vpls_id }}" customer 1 create

        - allow-ip-int-bind

      lines: exit

    register: vpls

  - debug:

      var: vpls

The issue is fixed by PR #49174 and the fix is available in Ansible version 2.7.5 

Please retest with 2.7.5 version and check if the issue is still seen.

I has similar issue with 7750 TiMOS-C-14.0.R5 and Ansible 2.7.0 

Upgrade up to 2.7.5 has fixed the issue

Cheers
