FileNotFoundError on Windows 10

TEMPLATE USING

Error does not appear to be template specific (unless the index file counts)

SAMPLE COMMAND OUTPUT

SUMMARY

It would appear that the templates files are not copied when installing in Windows from a local copy of the repository.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

On a Windows 10 desktop with git bash

git clone https://github.com/networktocode/ntc-templates.git
py -3 -m pip install ntc-templates/ --user

Then in a python console (having set up the variable topology):_

top_parsed = parse_output(platform="cisco_ios", command="show ip eigrp topology", data=topology)

EXPECTED RESULTS

I expected it to find the find the template from the index and proceed.

ACTUAL RESULTS

top_parsed = parse_output(platform="cisco_ios", command="show ip eigrp topology", data=topology)

Comments

I investigated the contents of my user site-packages folder and there were no templates installed. I'm not an expert with python packaging, but I suspect the issue might be that the templates folder is symlinked which would work on Macs + Linux but is probably causing Windows to not copy the template files into the relevant folder.

Thanks for reporting this @thomasbridge74. Can you try using the parse branch of this project and install with the -e option?

[thomasbridge74]

Hi @jmcgill298 - that does appear to have done the trick.

py -3.5 -m pip install --user -e .

Resolves the issue. I assume you'll merge the branch back into the master tree at some point.

Thanks for confirming; I have submitted #456
