Changelogs

New

• easypy

  • Added TaskManager runtime deadline support

    • Allows Easypy to cap task execution using an absolute deadline discovered from dynamic topology metadata.

    • Applies the cap through existing Task.wait() and runtime.tasks.run() timeout paths so jobfiles do not need syntax changes.

  • Added a new plugin to copy the datafile to log.

Fix

• easypy

  • Modified TaskManager runtime deadline handling

    • Applies a default 300-second guard before runtime deadlines.

  • Modified Task.wait()

    • Detects when a task process stays alive after pyATS execution due to leaked non-daemon threads and force-terminates it instead of hanging forever.

  • Hardened OneDevx and TaaS log archive uploads

    • Increased the default upload timeout to 300 seconds while retaining the cisco.upload.timeout.api configuration override.

    • Retries transient upload failures without sleeping after the final attempt and reports final failures consistently.

    • Closes archive files after every upload attempt.

    • Adds local log-viewer guidance when OneDevx or TaaS upload fails.

• kleenex

  • Modified standalone clean reporting

    • Allows KleenexMain(name=...) to set the top-level report suite name in report.json independently from the suite id.

• reporter/kleenex

  • Report standalone Kleenex device totals in the top-level summary instead of pluginsummary while preserving normal plugin reporting.

  • Report standalone clean runs with no device sections as skipped without adding a synthetic skipped device result.

  • Preserve support for historical clean archives whose totals are stored in pluginsummary.

  • Keep nested Standalone, Device, clean stage, and step summaries and results unchanged.

  • Update reporter schema validation to accept the existing top-level report.result field introduced with report version 3.4. This does not change the serialized report format or require another report version bump.

• reporter

  • Modified reporter IPC timeout handling

    • Honor PYATS_REPORTER_TIMEOUT and PYATS_REPORTER_MAX_RETRIES for reporter client/server IPC.

  • Modified section log line assignment

    • Assign log output emitted between adjacent sibling sections to the previous stopped section so trailing failure details are included in the correct report section.

• docker

  • Modified Alpine Builder

    • Updated the Alpine builder base image to Alpine 3.22.

Modified

• updated --meta parsing for easypy and replay commands to accept multiple metadata values after a single flag, such as --meta key1=value1 key2=value2, while preserving repeated --meta usage and filtering plain positional or unknown arguments from the metadata values.
