Great presentation !!! Great lab !!!

[@steeple001]

Thank you all for this great intro, Simons Demo proved to be really useful in helping getting pyats working especially with the robot piece, which i was writing manually before. One thing i did find with Genie which is reflected in the robot reports also is that when a compare is done where timestamps are involved you always get a failure as there is always a difference in timestamps.

I noticed during the genieCLI demo, the console file was not shown. If anybody encounters genie configuring logging and timeout values on a device, but you do not want this behavior. There is a way to to make genie not run those commands. Below is a link to the issue I opened for that behavior and has the fix at the bottom of the issue. github.com/CiscoTestAutomation/genielibs/issues/8

@Theother Swan Yeah, the first time I ran Genie CLI on our lab devices I was shocked that it made those changes. I have confirmed that no other changes occur than the ones I listed (looking and command history and such). And I have also confirmed that the fix does indeed skipping any configuration from Genie. I would say it is safe to use if you follow the notes in the issue I linked.

@Theother Swan We've modified all our Genie CLI commands to not change any device configuration, and it is part of our newest release. (To be released tomorrow - June 25). The last 2 commands that are sent is terminal lenght 0 and terminal width. If you dont want those 2 neither, you can disable it as Patrick O mentioned. Let us know if any other feedback!
