EEM Error during execution of ZTP script

[Claudia de Luna]

Hi,

I'm working with this great ZTP getting started repo

I'm having one issue and that is with the EEM upgrade function.

I have a C9300L-24P-4X running Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 16.12.02.

The script works beautifully until I try to install the software with the *deploy_eem_upgrade_script* function.

def deploy_eem_upgrade_script(image):
install_command = 'install add file flash:' + image + ' activate commit'
eem_commands = ['event manager applet upgrade',
'event none maxrun 600',
'action 1.0 cli command "enable"',
'action 2.0 cli command "%s" pattern "[y/n/q]"' % install_command,
'action 2.1 wait 10',
'action 2.2 cli command "n" pattern "proceed"',
'action 2.3 cli command "y"'
]
results = configure(eem_commands)
print("----->>> results of eem_commands:\n" + results)
print '*** Successfully configured upgrade EEM script on device! ***'

Here is the error that I'm getting and its pretty consistent. I've played around with the EEM commands based on some EEM examples I've seen but so far no joy. I don't have a lot of EEM experience so I'm sure that is the problem.

Here is the working script in its current state:

https://github.com/cldeluna/cisco_ztp/blob/main/ZTP_python_advanced.py

On a more strategic note, is an EEM script the only way to go here? Are we limited by Python2 and the modules in the GuestShell?

Here is a log of the interactive session I'm trying to automate via EEM
