YDK issues Lab 10.8 DEVASC ELearning Training Use Cisco SDK and Python for Automation Scripting

Luis Perez — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 18:31:45 GMT

Problems executing python script in this specific lab of DEVASC training course, when you instantiate CRUDService() it fails with messages: "TypeError: ydk_.services.CRUDService.__init__() must be called when overriding __init__"

Ive tried to make changes inside of the crud_service, executor_service and netconf_service python files as mentioned here https://github.com/ygorelik/ydk-gen/commit/2c53f5dc736d73064c03dc1c404982d1c9011d64 actually the previous issue dissapear but now is showing issus related with the read method of the CRUDService object.

The python script executed is attached.

Someone knows which steps we have to take in account to make this script suscessfully work?

Hi Luis

When building model you must always start from the top level entity and keep in mind that container and list classes has already been instantiated in parent class. Your script should be:

from ydk.services import CRUDService
from ydk.providers import NetconfServiceProvider
from ydk.models.cisco_ios_xe import Cisco_IOS_XE_native as xe_model  # you had error in this line

# CSR1kv1 Credentials
ip = '10.0.0.20'
port_n = 830
user = 'cisco'
paswd = 'cisco'
proto = 'ssh'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # open the connection with Netconf server
    provider = NetconfServiceProvider(address=ip, port=port_n, username=user, password=paswd, protocol=proto)

    # initialize CRUD Service
    crud = CRUDService()

    # create a new instance of Native object
    xe_native = xe_model.Native()  # always start from top level entity
    xe_interfaces = xe_native.interfaces  # object 'interfaces' has already been instantiated

    # read the interfaces with the help of read function
    interfaces_data = crud.read(provider, xe_interfaces)

    # print the primary address of the fifth gigabitethernet interface
    print(interfaces_data.gigabitethernet[4].ip.address.primary.address)
    exit()

Have the same problem when initializing CRUDService:

Python 3.6.9 (default, Oct 8 2020, 12:12:24)
[GCC 8.4.0] on linux
>>> from ydk.services import CRUDService
>>> crud = CRUDService()
TypeError: ydk_.services.CRUDService.__init__() must be called when overriding __init__

Please your help to solve this problem.

Try this

https://github.com/ygorelik/ydk-gen/commit/2c53f5dc736d73064c03dc1c404982d1c9011d64

I made the changes inside of the crud_service.py file suggested and that solve the issue

Thanks Yan i tried again only modifying the crud_service.py file as mentioned here https://github.com/ygorelik/ydk-gen/commit/2c53f5dc736d73064c03dc1c404982d1c9011d64 and without any change in the code the scritp works as expected

Hello Luis and Jose

Since the 0.8.5 merge to upstream (still officially not released) I have fixed few bugs including the above one. Therefore I suggest you to use master branch from my fork. The installation is very simple:

git clone https://github.com/ygorelik/ydk-gen.git

cd ydk-gen

./install_ydk.sh --core

For YDK test drive I suggest to use docker:

docker run -it ydksolutions/ydk-gen

Hi.
So I ran the docker container and i'm getting the same message:

root@b66bf1398402:/ydk-practice# python3 nc-read-and-write.py 'ssh://admin:XXXXXXXX@10.201.164.21:830'

Reading NETCONF configuration from 10.201.164.21...

Just wondering if when the container is built, is it running the 0.8.5 version of ydk?

I really want to run this from Docker.

Thanks.

I did get some error messages when i installed the models, which i am including below.

The read-and-write.py script is in my original comment below when i tried to get it working in Docker.

Thanks.

Hello guys

I followed above suggested YDK docker installation and ran your script on Cisco XE sandbox with no errors. To be exact, I only commented out CRUD update operation as it is not allowed to do changes on the sandbox. Please see attached console output that includes all the operations from YDK docker image installation to Python script run results.

Re: YDK issues Lab 10.8 DEVASC ELearning Training Use Cisco SDK and Python for Automation Scripting

sclake — Fri, 16 Apr 2021 22:51:18 GMT

So the only thing i'm noticing here is that I'm on docker for windows and you're running the docker run command under linux. Since I'm still getting the "segmentation fault" when executing the docker run command on windows (power shell prompt), I wonder if that is the cause? Even so, I still got the Typeerror issue running ydk directly on bionic under vmware workstation pro. So the only thing left here is for me to run the container in under linux i'm guessing, right? The thing is that with running ydk under docker or a vm, i can still get access to the host hard drive for my scripts. Not sure if i can do that if running docker under ubuntu under vmware workstation pro(?). Thanks for taking a look. Scott.

Hi Scott

Honestly, I've never tried to run YDK application under Windows platform. Currently it is not supported.

The docker use under Windows is limited and somewhat artificial, because the Docker was designed to run under Linux as it uses Linux kernel. Therefore the best way to work on Windows PC is to use Linux virtual machine. Nevertheless, I have to notice that Jacky managed to run YDK under Windows-10 WSL Ubuntu-18.04 (see this discussion).

Very important! Unfortunately the CiscoDevNet repository for YDK is now out of sync, therefore please clone YDK from my fork as suggested above. That is proven to work fine and I continue maintain that repository. Repeating here the installation procedure:

From source
git clone https://github.com/ygorelik/ydk-gen.git

cd ydk-gen

./install_ydk.sh --core

Docker (Ubuntu-18.04)
docker run -it ydksolutions/ydk-gen

Re: YDK issues Lab 10.8 DEVASC ELearning Training Use Cisco SDK and Python for Automation Scripting

sclake — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 17:33:38 GMT

Yan,

Decided to see if i could replicate Jacky's experience and install in wsl2 ubuntu 20.04 (which is what i originally installed on wsl2; if it is determined that 20.04 will not support ydk, then i will go ahead and reconfigure wsl2 to also support 18.04 and try that).

There were no installation issues as far as i could tell but this is where i'm at now below.

Thanks, Scott

Re: YDK issues Lab 10.8 DEVASC ELearning Training Use Cisco SDK and Python for Automation Scripting

sclake — Tue, 20 Apr 2021 15:20:17 GMT

Yan,

So I wanted to clarify something here. My understanding is that docker for windows is dependent on the linux installation in WSL2. Thus, when you say YDK is not supported on docker for windows, this implies that it is also not supported under WSL2 (however, some engineers have had success installing and running ydk it under ubuntu 18.04). Just for my own understanding, why is the ydk library and other supporting functions so dependent on linux in a vm when it seems that MSFT is offering WSL2 is a solution that is directly comparable to a linux vm, like-for-like. Are we saying that wsl2 is not a qualified linux virtualization solution because they have not replicated the linux kernel functionality as well as vmware/vagrant? Personally, I am tied to windows 10 for the foreseeable future and the docker/wsl2 solution is by far less resource intensive on my laptop than running a vm, so i'm extremely interested in pursuing the docker-over-wsl2 method of supporting my development activities.

Scott.

Hi Scott

What I meant is that YDK has never been certified on WSL2 platform. If you could make it work, great! Please share the details of YDK installation with community. I am sure, it will be greatly appreciated by multiple YDK users.

Here is the error repeated from above...

ydk.errors.YInvalidArgumentError: Path is invalid: Cisco-IOS-XE-native:native

So the question here is what is the expected path for the models? Seems to me that everything is in order here.

Thanks,

Scott.

Any ideas on the above issue Yan?

This doesn't sound like a WSL-related error.

Thanks. Scott.

Hi Scott

I have tested the latest YDK on WSL Ubuntu-18.04 and 20.04. I was using Ubuntu images from Microsoft Store. In both installations the YDK worked fine. I tested them on CiscoDevNet XR and XE sandboxes and did not find any issues. I would assume that there are some issues with your script (installation looks fine to me). Could you please share the script for further troubleshooting.

Hi Yan,

So the script is copied verbatim out of the ydk-samples repo but regardless, i ran it against the XE Sandbox from my Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL2 and it worked fine. For some reason the Autopods are locked out tonight so when they come back online, i will test against a few other systems and see if i can replicate my success. At least we have a reference case now. I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks for getting back to me on this. It is important!

Best,

Scott.

Hi Yan.

Ok so i tried to run the exact same script against some physical iosxe systems and pretty much got 3 different error responses. I have attached the session log which shows the execution of the python command against the physical systems along with the same command pointed towards the sandbox. I also included the sh ver and show netconf-yang status command output. I also executed an ssh to port 830 and it was successful each time responding with the capabilities from each of the 3 phy systems.

None of the error conditions triggered on not finding the ios-xe ydk model, which is the last error i left off with.

BTW, the script is in this thread and like I mentioned previously, downloaded and not modified from the ydk-samples repo.

Thanks much for your continued help on this!!

Scott.
