handling of "command not found" error in send methods #3418

Open shrmk opened 7 months ago

shrmk commented 7 months ago

Description of Issue/Question

I have many send methods (simple and multiline) used at various places for various reasons. This is not elegant way to capture output at each and every send command to check common errors which may response from device. When ever device responses if any of these common errors (strings), an exception must be raised.

How can we handle this situation ?

Setup

Netmiko version

(Paste verbatim output from pip freeze | grep netmiko between quotes below)

a new device added

How do you want to handle it?

You sent the wrong command, I would just code into my Python code what to do in this case (raise an exception, continue onward, do something else).
