Refactored test assertions for Huawei CE, Ruijie, and VPCS telnet drivers to compare only class names instead of full module paths. This change reduces test brittleness when classes are imported via different module paths while maintaining validation of correct class registration in CLASS_MAPPER and CLASS_MAPPER_BASE.
Refactor test assertions to compare classes by module and name instead of direct object comparison. This ensures tests remain reliable when classes are imported via different paths, preventing false failures due to import variations. Changes applied to Huawei CE, Ruijie, and VPCS telnet driver tests.
Changed test assertions from `assertIs` to `assertEqual` for class mapper comparisons in Huawei CE, Ruijie, and VPCS telnet driver tests. This ensures proper equality checking rather than identity checking, which is more appropriate for class comparisons in these test cases.
assertIs instead of assertEqual for class comparison
Fix test failures in custom Netmiko driver tests by using assertIs instead
of assertEqual when comparing class objects registered in CLASS_MAPPER.
The issue occurred because test files add project root to sys.path, allowing
the same module to be imported with different paths (e.g., gns3_copilot...
vs gns3server.agent.gns3_copilot...). assertEqual compares class __module__
attributes which differ based on import path, while assertIs checks object
identity which correctly identifies them as the same class.
Modified files:
- test_huawei_ce.py
- test_ruijie_telnet.py
- test_vpcs_telnet.py
- Configure tiktoken cache directory to isolate encoding files
- Add logging and timing for tiktoken initialization process
- Make Huawei CE and Ruijie Telnet device registration idempotent
- Add duplicate registration prevention with global flags
- Add logging for device type registration status
- Update .gitignore to exclude tiktoken cache files
- Rename huawei_telnet_ce to gns3_huawei_telnet_ce for consistent naming
- Add comprehensive test suite for RuijieTelnetEnhanced driver (10 tests)
- Update list_netmiko_telnet_devices.py to include gns3_ruijie_telnet
- Fix all flake8 format issues (line length, unused imports, variables)
- Update documentation to reflect device type rename
Add pre-processing of known interactive commands and implement hybrid send strategy for Ruijie Telnet devices. The new approach:
- Pre-processes configuration commands to automatically insert 'yes' responses after known interactive commands (router-id, erase, delete, format, reload, boot system)
- Implements hybrid strategy: first attempts fast batch send with pre-processed commands, then falls back to one-by-one send with real-time prompt detection if batch fails
- Maintains backward compatibility while improving reliability for interactive configuration scenarios
This improves configuration reliability for Ruijie devices that frequently require confirmation prompts during configuration changes.
- Import and register Ruijie telnet device type in config_tools_nornir.py
- Import and register Ruijie telnet device type in display_tools_nornir.py
- Update custom_netmiko __init__.py to include RuijieTelnetEnhanced driver
- Add Ruijie telnet driver to __all__ exports for proper module exposure
- Extends custom Netmiko support to handle Ruijie devices with interactive prompt handling
- Add script to generate Markdown documentation of all Netmiko supported
devices (SSH and Telnet), grouped by platform with source attribution
- Highlight custom GNS3-Copilot devices with "Custom ✨" marker
- Auto-generate device list to docs/gns3-copilot/netmiko_devices.md
- Simplify HuaweiTelnetCE driver: remove redundant aliases
(huawei_ce, huawei_telnet_ce_telnet), keep only huawei_telnet_ce
- Update tests to match simplified device registration
Disable mypy type checking for the Huawei CE driver module due to
Netmiko library limitations. Netmiko lacks type stubs (py.typed) and
uses dynamic attributes, which causes unresolved import and attribute
errors in static analysis.
Added a comprehensive comment block at the top of the file explaining
the rationale for disabling mypy to prevent future confusion.
Additionally, performed code cleanup including:
- Reformatted module docstrings and comments for better readability
- Added missing imports (importlib, logging)
- Removed unused typing imports (Optional)
- Refactored variable assignments in send_config_set for clarity
Add comprehensive multi-vendor support for GNS3 network automation,
including a custom Netmiko driver for Huawei CloudEngine devices.
Features:
- Custom HuaweiTelnetCE driver for GNS3 emulation (no authentication)
- Auto-commit before exit to prevent [Y/N/C] prompts
- Dynamic device type detection from GNS3 node tags
- Support for both Cisco IOS and Huawei devices
- Proper VRP command handling (system-view, return confirmation)
Implementation:
- New package: utils/custom_netmiko/
- huawei_ce.py: Huawei CloudEngine driver
- tests/test_huawei_ce.py: Unit tests (9/9 passing)
- README.md: Driver development guide
- Updated tools for multi-vendor support:
- display_tools_nornir.py: Dynamic group generation
- config_tools_nornir.py: Multi-vendor config commands
- get_gns3_device_port.py: Device port extraction
- Documentation: multi-vendor-device-support.md
Limitations:
- huawei_telnet_ce driver requires devices without authentication
- For devices with username/password, use standard huawei_telnet driver
