Catching timed out connections (Commando)

[Lamisk]

Hi

I am new to trigger and haven't used python for a long while.... Enjoying it so far though :)

Just hopefully quick question - how am I meant to get feed back on which devices are un-connectable?

I am just getting a return at the top, before the results list:

Unhandled Error

Traceback (most recent call last):

Failure: twisted.internet.error.TimeoutError: User timeout caused connection failure.

Basic code I am trialing:

from trigger.cmds import Commando

from trigger.netdevices import NetDevices

import simplejson as json

class RunCommands(Commando):

    """Execute 'show clock' on a list of Cisco devices."""

#   vendors = ['cisco']

    commands = ['write']

if __name__ == '__main__':

    nd = NetDevices()

    device_list = nd.search('xxx')

    print device_list

    setupcommands = RunCommands(timeout=2,devices=device_list)

    setupcommands.run() # Commando exposes this to start the event loop

    print setupcommands.store_error(nd,TimeoutError)

    print '\nResults:'

    print json.dumps(setupcommands.results, indent=4)

Any help would be great - I am getting stuck here and I think I need to continue reading up about exceptions.

Hello! I'm happy you're using Trigger!

What do you mean when you say you want to "get feed back on which devices are un-connectable"? Do you want to see the errors at the end? If so, once the event loop returns, you have 2 attributes):

- .results = A dict of results from the commands that succeed, keyed by device name

- .errors = A dict of the errors, keyed by device name

Maybe that's what you were looking for?
