ReadTimeout with open()

[nkhambal]

I am getting following read timeout exception when I run my script

raise ReadTimeout(msg)
netmiko.exceptions.ReadTimeout:

Pattern not detected: '<\?xml\ version="1\.0"\ encoding="UTF\-8"\?><Request\ MajorVersion="1"\ MinorVersion="0">' in output.

Things you might try to fix this:

1. Adjust the regex pattern to better identify the terminating string. Note, in
   many situations the pattern is automatically based on the network device's prompt.
2. Increase the read_timeout to a larger value.

You can also look at the Netmiko session_log or debug log for more information.

Script is pretty simple

devLogFile = str(aHost) + "_session.log"
file = open(devLogFile, "w+")
cDev = IOSXR(hostname=aHost, username=uName, password=uPassWd, port=22, timeout=300, logfile=file)
cDev.open()
cDev.unlock()
cDev.show_bgp_summary()
cDev.close()

here is the netmiko session log

This can be problemtic when used in read_until_pattern().

You should ensure that you use either non-capture groups i.e. '(?:' or that the
parenthesis completely wrap the pattern '(pattern)'

[nkhambal]

Just FYI, cDev.unlock() is something I added to see if thats the issue. But the timeout happens with or without it.

[nkhambal]

Made some progress. Used lock = False option to avoid locking the config db.

cDev = IOSXR(hostname=aHost, username=uName, password=uPassWd, port=22, timeout=300, lock=False, logfile=file)

changed the _XML_SHELL command to 'xml echo format' (tried 'xml echo' too).

_XML_SHELL = 'xml echo format'

Now I am getting XML parse error

Any ideas?

[nkhambal]

I printed the response for the CLI. Looks like there are 2 XML declaration at the top. One for request and other for response. It is probably why XML parsing is failing.
