Features¶

Genie * No change!

Genie.Ops * Updated learn_poll to pass kwargs to ops.learn()

Genie.Conf * No change!

Genie.Utils * Remove genie.utils.command_line.tabber * Remove genie.utils.command_line.question_mark

Genie.Harness * Updated processor.py, added start_reporter() and stop_reporter() functions

Genie.Examples * Removed genie.examples modules

examples are moved to https://github.com/CiscoTestAutomation/ as a repository

Genie.Libs.Parser * Over 10 new IOSXE, IOS, NXOS & JunOS Parsers! * Changelog can be checked here

ACL

DOT1X

Changelog can be checked here

Genie.Libs.Conf * No change! * Changelog can be checked here

Genie.Libs.Sdk * Update on HA triggers’ excpetion handling! * Changelog can be checked here

Genie.Libs.Robot * No change! * Changelog can be checked here

Genie.Trafficgen * Save and export “Flow Statistics” data as a CSV snapshot * Check traffic loss for each flow group of parent traffic stream * Disconnect/automatically reconnect when Ixia connection is reset * Enable/disable assigning physical ports to virtual ::ixNet:: ports * Enhanced logging for check_traffic_loss for traffic streams * Get packet size per traffic stream or per flow group * Get packet rate per traffic stream or per flow group * Get layer2 bit rate per flow group or per flow group * Get line rate per flow group or per flow group * Find Traffic Stream, Flow Group and Quick Flow Group, QuickTest ::ixNet:: objects from name * Enhancement for set packet size to enable/disable starting traffic after change * Enhancement for set packet rate to enable/disable starting traffic after change * Enhancement for set line rate to enable/disable starting traffic after change * Enhancement for set layer2 bit rate to enable/disable starting traffic after change * Get QuickTest results attributes * Bugfix: Traffic streams with exact same “name” not printing in logs * Bugfix: Get multi-page statistics data for custom “GENIE” view

Genie.FileTransferUtils * Added support for IOS

Genie.Libs.Telemetry * No change!

Genie.Abstract * Added Lookup.from_device(default_tokens=[]) argument to support default

device attributes to lookup from, in case device.custom.abstraction block is not defined

Fixed a bug related to Lookup().from_device() crashing when tokens are only defined in custom/abstraction block

Genie.Telemetry * No change!

Genie.Parsergen * No change!

Genie.Metaparser * No change!

Genie.Predcore * No change!

Unicon * core

fix StateTransition do_transitions to return correct output

fix dialogs with multi thread to send command to correct connection

inherit base Connection from Lockable and add RLock for BaseService

improve performance by enhancing pty_backend to support different modes in match_buffer. By default, match_mode_detect is enabled. Detect rules are as below: * search whole buffer with re.DOTALL if:

pattern contains any of: \r, \n

pattern equals to any of: .*, ^.*$, .*$, ^.*, .+, ^.+$, .+$, ^.+

Else if pattern ends with $, will only match last line

In other situations, search whole buffer with re.DOTALL

improve performance by compiling regex patterns first in dialog_processor

improve performance by removing re.search again in truncate_trailing_prompt

add connection “host” in SSHTunnel and topology adapter

added credential support * When pyATS integration is used,
- If a default credential is supplied, then a credential of any other name is looked up explicitly and is not found, the default credential is used instead.
- credentials supplied to the connection contain any credentials defined at the device and testbed levels as well.
- If one or more credentials are supplied: * The tacacs and passwords pyATS testbed keys are ignored. * Use of any of the following unicon.Unicon.Connection arguments cause a
  
  deprecation warning to be raised : * username * password * enable_password * tacacs_password * line_password
  - The following credential names are expected to be defined explicitly: * enable : This credential defines the password to be sent when
    
    bringing routing devices to their enable mode.
    - sudo : The fsos/ftd plugin expects this credential to contain the sudo password.
    - ssh : When setting up an sshtunnel against a server specified in a pyATS testbed servers block, this credential must be defined against that server block.
  - The login_creds argument (specified either in pyATS connection block or as a unicon.Unicon.Connection parameter), now controls the order credentials are applied when username/password prompts are received while connecting to the device.
  - The prompts/login and prompts/password parameters are now expected to be explicitly set in the pyATS connection block or as unicon.Unicon.Connection parameters.
  - The switchover service now accepts a switchover_creds parameter that allows users to define what credentials to use should a username or password prompt occur during switchover.
  - The reload service now accepts a reload_creds parameter that allows users to define what credentials to use should a username or password prompt occur during reload.
- The execute service no longer responds to username/password requests, users are expected to pass in their own dialog if this kind of handling is required.
generic plugin * add flatten_splitlines_command method in generic utils to flatten commands * add get_handle method in BaseService for all services to reuse * add bulk argument for Configure service to send commands in one sendline * refactor generic Configure service, and now HaConfigureService inherits from Configure * fix several bugs in BaseService and generic HaExecService
iosxr plugin * fix potential bugs in iosxr execute and configure related services * add HaAdminExecute and HaAdminConfigure services for iosxr * fix asr9k plugin services admin_execute, admin_configure and admin_bash_console on 64-bit asr9k * added dual RP support to iosxr/spitfire plugin.
junos plugin * fix junos plugin configure service
nxos plugin * added VDC related robot commands.
asa plugin * added warning to ASA plugin patterns.
ios plugin * added vrf support in ios plugin ping service. It now accepts vrf as input and passes it as part of the ping command
