rumo / textfsm Goto Github PK

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Take any pointer to a template file and reuse it with subsequent TextFSM() 
calls.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output would be nothing, instead get:
Missing state 'Start'.

Basically, you want to have one reference to a template as a module level 
constant:

# Read in textfsm template and have it parse the output.
TMP = open(os.path.join(PATH, 'some_template'))

If you were to do:
 re_table = textfsm.TextFSM(TMP)
 parse_results = re_table.ParseText(output_text)
 re_table = textfsm.TextFSM(TMP)
 parse_results = re_table.ParseText(output_text)

The second one would fail.  The reason being is that textfsm is not putting the 
file pointer back to the top of the file.  This means I need to move the file 
pointer back to the top each time.  This should be done inside textfsm.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Using the attached example files:
 textfsm.py exampletemplate exampleinput

What is the expected output?
FSM Table:
['IsOK', 'LineNo']
['OK', '1']
['OK', '2']

What do you see instead?
FSM Table:
['IsOK', 'LineNo']
['OK', '1']
['OK', '2']
['OK', '4']
['OK', '5']

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
textfsm 0.2.0, Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS, x86_64, Python 2.6.5


TextFSMHowto mentions that "The End state is reserved and terminates processing
of input lines and does not execute the EOF state."
This doesn't seem to work. The exampletemplate file also contains my current
workaround, i.e. transition to a state "Foo" which has no rules, but while
faster it's not a real solution.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Ensure you have the setuptools module installed
2.  On linux (either with sudo, or as root) type the following (remove 
quotes)... 'easy_install -U textfsm'
3.

Q: What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

A: Expected output should look something like this...

[mpenning@Bucksnort ~]$ sudo easy_install -U textfsm

However, the install will fail, because easy_install does not know where to 
find the tarball for the installer

Q: What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

A: I hope to use 0.1.0 on linux... proceeding with a manual installation next.
