Hello,
We have a model that uses actionpoint to call python code. Python code is located in packet and it adds commands to configuration and print out some messages in a user session (cli) that called this actionpoint. Actionpoint is registered as:
class Main(ncs.application.Application):
def setup(self):
# The application class sets up logging for us. It is accessible
# through 'self.log' and is a ncs.log.Log instance.
self.log.info('Main RUNNING')
self.register_action('provision-service', ProvisionService)
Class "ProvisionService" does needed work. Snippet from definition of this class:
class ProvisionService(ncs.dp.Action):
.dp.Action.action
def cb_action(self, uinfo, name, kp, input_params, output, trans):
# Increase timeout
_ncs.dp.action_set_timeout(uinfo, 600)
# Helper functions
printcli = lambda x: _ncs.maapi.cli_write(trans.maapi.msock, uinfo.usid, f'{x}\n')
clicmd = lambda x: _ncs.maapi.cli_cmd(trans.maapi.msock, uinfo.usid, x)
We use low level maapi functions "cli_write" and "cli_cmd" to print messages to user session and to run add commands in user session (set up configuration for commit).
Problem is that commands entered in "cli_cmd" need to match CLI style of user. If user uses Juniper CLI we need to enter commands in Juniper format ("set") and if user uses Cisco CLI we need to enter Cisco style commands.
How can I detect which CLI style is used by user that called this actionpoint?
Side note:
If we use actionpoint for auto completion, NSO will automatically pass cli_style to function:
class DeviceEndpointCompletion(ncs.dp.Action):
def cb_completion(self, uinfo, cli_style, token, completion_char, kp,
cmdpath, cmdparam_id, simple_type, extra):
We need this "cli_style" data in "cb_action" function.
Thank you for the help.
