I have a playbook to retrieve show version output from a Cisco NX-OS switch and using assert_module.
I want to match a string "NXOS: version 9.3(6)" in the output. If succeeds, then print success message, or else fail message. With the below scripts I am always getting failed message.
---
-
connection: network_cli
gather_facts: false
hosts: LAB_LF
tasks:
-
name: "show commands"
nxos_command:
commands:
- command: show version
register: show_version
ignore_errors: true
-
debug:
msg: "{{ show_version }}"
name: "display the output from switch"
-
assert:
that:
- "'NXOS: version 9.3(6)' in show_version.stdout"
success_msg: "Passed: All Leaf have current OS"
fail_msg: "Failed: wrong os"
ignore_errors: yes
when: inventory_hostname in groups['LAB_LF0304']
name: "assert the output from switch"
Printed output from the switch is below. As the data structure is important, I am pasting full displayed output
