When performing RPC calls that return a value of type boolean, we are seeing an error being returned. This only happens if the connection type is using pyez which is persistent.
We are using the below variables:
[juniper:vars]
ansible_connection=juniper.device.pyez
ansible_network_os=juniper.device.junos >>>> We didn’t get any issues when we were using Juniper.junos here. But we are using juniper.device as it’s depreciated.
An example of a play is shown below:
- name: Clear logs for test-1
when: inventory_hostname == 'test301-rtr-6'
juniper.device.rpc:
rpc:
- clear-log
kwarg:
filename: messages
An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: ansible.module_utils.connection.ConnectionError: Type 'bool' cannot be serialized.
