Hello, 

I am very new to Ansible and wondering if someone can look into this. 

I have installed the Python and Ansible as per the https://github.com/aruba/aruba-ansible-modules and videos "Aruba Bots Ansible Series 01 - 03". I can connect to the switch using the ansible modules. Please see the outupt below.

python --version

Python 2.7.16

MacBook-Pro:arubaoss tarun$ ansible --version

ansible 2.8.5

  config file = None

  configured module search path = ['/Users/tarun/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']

  ansible python module location = /usr/local/Cellar/ansible/2.8.5/libexec/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ansible

  executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible

  python version = 3.7.4 (default, Sep  7 2019, 18:27:02) [Clang 10.0.1 (clang-1001.0.46.4)]

MacBook-Pro:arubaoss tarun$ ansible-playbook system_attributes.yml -i switch_hosts.yml

However I am unable to use the SSH/CLI module as mentioned in the Aireheads community https://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Developer-Community/How-to-install-use-CLI-modules-and-tasks-for-Switch-and-CX-in/td-p/534333/highlight/false

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

$ansible-playbook cli-test.yml -i switch_hosts.yml

ERROR! 'arubaos_switch_ssh_cli' is not a valid attribute for a Play

The error appears to have been in '/home/tarun/aruba-ansible-modules/example_playbooks/arubaoss/cli-test.yml': line 1, column 3, but may

be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

- name: Check if upload is completed

  ^ here

cat cli-test.yml

- name: Check if upload is completed

  arubaos_switch_ssh_cli:

    ip: 10.0.0.254

    user: netadmin

    password: netadmin

    # This will execute each command through the CLI and return the CLI Output

    show_command: ["show flash", "show version"]

  # The result will have the CLI Output

Hi tarunagghi!

Did you copy the library/ directory from the aruba-switch-ansible Github to the directory where your playbook cli_test.yml is? That should be step 2 of How to install/use CLI modules and tasks for Switch and CX in Ansible. 

If you did, I would double check your indentation, some times that could throw an error, but I doubt that's the case here.

Could you please re-run the playbook in verbose mode? Just append -vvvv to the end of the execution and reply with the results of the failure. So your execution command should look like this:

ansible-playbook cli-test.yml -i switch_hosts.yml -vvvv

Yes, I did copy the library and like you mentioned it was the indentation. I double-check and corrected my indentation and it's working now. I copied it to the ssh_working.yml 

I have attached the screenshot of the working indentation if someone has the same issue.
