gnmi enhancement to support json_ietf encoding and work when json_ietf_val is bytes string

Can we support different encodings for get? I think we just need a new argument (already made local change and it works).
On top of that, when json_ietf_val is a bytes string, we hit json.decoder.JSONDecodeError exception. Example:

json_ietf_val = b'DIRECTLY_CONNECTED'

This could be a simple fix as well, which I've made locally and it works.

Thank you for the awesome library!

Hey @brunoonovais ,
thanks for your message. I'm not too sure I do understand the request, as pygnmi already supports all encodings, which are supported by gNMI:

pygnmi/pygnmi/client.py

Line 272 in 903e50b

if encoding in encoding_set:

On a second one, it would be good to see, what was the request you have so far performed to receive such an answer. Given it is a DIRECTLY_CONNECTED, I would assume you have requested for a specific route. However, it would be good to see the message, which caused an exception, if possible.

Overall, if you feel that something can be improved, you are welcome to raise a pull request ;-)

Best,
Anton

Hey Anton Sorry, I should've worded this properly. I actually meant pygnmicli, not pygnmi client. I will just submit a PR and you let me know if you have a problem with that or not :) Didn't want to raise it before talking to you first. Thank you! Bruno Novais

Hey @brunoonovais ,

sounds good, looking forward.

Best,

Hi Anton Just wanted to send you the diff before I send a PR. Do you see any problem with this? I may have to change a couple of things on client.py as well, but wanted to send those changes to pygnmicli at least for now. Thank you Bruno Novais

Hey @brunoonovais,

sure, please send it to me or submit PR so I can review directly there.

Best,
Anton

Hey @brunoonovais ,

hope you are well. Are you still going to submit PR?

Best,
Anton

Hey Anton I've recently changed jobs so could not catch up on this, sorry about that. I will find a box to test the changes I've made again on this other vendor and let you know. It just may take a bit of time since I have a ton of stuff to learn for the job haha. Cheers! Bruno Novais

Hey @brunoonovais ,

hope you enjoy a new job :-) I believe your request is now sorted by #92 . Could you please test and let me know if anything else is needed?

Best,
Anton

Hey Anton, thank you! all good :) I just pulled the latest and still seeing it: bash-3.2$ ./pygnmicli -t device:6030 -u admin -p admin -i -o capabilities -d all Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/bnovais/Downloads/pygnmi/scripts/./pygnmicli", line 163, in <module> main() File "/Users/bnovais/Downloads/pygnmi/scripts/./pygnmicli", line 40, in main target=args.target, username=args.username, password=args.password, token=args.token, AttributeError: 'Namespace' object has no attribute 'token' bash-3.2$ I think we can just verify if args.token and use that option, otherwise remove it. That is what I did to get around it, but looks clean enough? Cheers! Bruno Novais

Hello @brunoonovais ,

First of all, I believe it is related to another issue, namely #85 . Second, I so far was not able to reproduce the issue against vEOS. but I will try another go.

Best,
Anton

Also, what is interesting. where are you running that from? It doesn't seem you properly install it via pip as otherwise you would run it as pygnmicli without ./. What version of Python do you have on the host?

Hello @brunoonovais ,

Both your requested items are sorted in #93 and published in pygnmi==0.8.8, which is just released in pypi as well. Please, test and let me know.

Best,
Anton
