Use pyang to validate backward incompatibility for augmented statement

pralala — Tue, 10 Dec 2019 17:58:36 GMT

Hello folks,

I have 2 revisions of same model which i want to compare for backward incompatibility.

augment "/ios:native/ios:interface/ios:TwentyFiveGigE/ios:ip" {
  uses config-interface-ip-nbar-grouping;
}

In the first model i have the above, and in the 2nd model i removed the same statement.
How do i validate using pyang as the structure of ios:interface/ios:TwentyFiveGigE/ is defined in a different file and it seems pyang is not really considering the augmented statement when i remove it.
I ran these 2 commands but it never showed me the expected output that TwentyFiveGigE is being removed

pyang --strict --check-update-from ../16.12.1/Cisco-IOS-XE-nbar.yang Cisco-IOS-XE-nbar.yang --check-update-from-path ~/newncs/nso-5.2.1.1/src/ncs/yang/

pyang --strict --check-update-from ../16.12.1/*.yang *.yang --check-update-from-path ~/newncs/nso-5.2.1.1/src/ncs/yang/

There is a way to do using ncsc compiler though when i do a revision merge of fxs files, it gives me the expected output which is good, but i want a way without doing all the revision merge and determine before hand if there is any incompatibility
ncsc: Revision <<"2020-03-01">> deletes item /devices/device/config/native/interface/ATM/encapsulation/dot1Q/second-dot1q

Also, any other tool apart from pyang which could be useful like yanger,confdc etc please let me know. Just want a way to catch these things via script

Hello,

which version of pyang are you using? with 2.0.1 I manage to get the error:

cisco@server # pyang --strict --check-update-from ../16121/Cisco-IOS-XE-nbar.yang Cisco-IOS-XE-nbar.yang    
Cisco-IOS-XE-nbar.yang:1: error: new revision 2019-07-01 is not newer than old revision 2019-07-01 (RFC 6020: 10, p2)
Cisco-IOS-XE-nbar.yang:1: error: the augment '/ios:native/ios:interface/ios:TwentyFiveGigE/ios:ip', defined at ../16121/Cisco-IOS-XE-nbar.yang:1066 is illegally removed

[... truncated]

I have just done the following:

pyang --version # output pyang 2.0.1
git clone https://github.com/YangModels/yang
cd yang/vendor/cisco/xe/
cp -r 16121 test
cd test
# edit by removing the same augment as you in the same file
pyang --strict --check-update-from ../16121/Cisco-IOS-XE-nbar.yang Cisco-IOS-XE-nbar.yang

Note: the version that comes with NSO is pyang 1.5 which is much older and which should not be used I think - it indeed does not detect the augment on my laptop

cisco@server # pyang --strict --check-update-from ../16121/Cisco-IOS-XE-nbar.yang Cisco-IOS-XE-nbar.yang
Cisco-IOS-XE-nbar.yang:1: error: new revision 2019-07-01 is not newer than old revision 2019-07-01 (RFC 6020: 10, p2)

I looked at yanger but could not find similar option.

regards
