Python version- 3.5.2 Netmiko version- 2.4.2 Paramiko version- 2.6.0

When attempting to make a connection with ubiquiti edgerouter lite i am receiving error

ValueError: Router prompt not found: 'jmc@McgigglesEPR:~$'

python script is:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import json
from os import mkdir
from netmiko import *

with open('network.json', 'r') as f:
    boxes = json.load(f)


def get_configs():
    for k, v in boxes.items():
        nested_device = [v]
        for data in nested_device:
            device = nested_device[0]['device_type']
            if device == 'corertr' or device == 'epr':
                category = 'routers'
            else:

            else:

            output_file = nested_device[0]['host'] + ' output.txt'
            full_dir = (category + '/' + output_file)
            try:
                with open(full_dir, 'w') as file:
                    command_list = ['terminal length 0\n', config]
                    for i in command_list:
                        connect = ConnectHandler(**data)
                        output = connect.send_command(i)
                        file.write(output + '\n')
            except FileNotFoundError:

        print(nested_device[0]['host'] + ' complete')


get_configs()

json is

{
 "epr":{
  "device_type": "ubiquiti_edge",
  "host": "epr",
  "username": "jmc",
  "password": "REDACTED",
  "verbose": "true"
 }

}

I found this issue (https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko/issues/499) where it seems like the issue was resolved but i still cannot make it work.

`from netmiko import ConnectHandler

ubnt = { ‘device_type’ : ‘vyatta_vyos’, ‘ip’ : ‘192.168.0.1’, ‘username’ : ‘ubnt’, ‘password’ : ‘ubnt’, } ` Works fine if you change the device_type to vyatta_vyos

i ended up modifying ubiquiti_edge to inherit based off of the previously mentioned commit that got reverted. I am sure that it got reverted due to other issues it caused but it works for what i am using it for. i guess it would make more sense to test out just using the vyos type so that if it works i can keep it updated with any future releases of netmiko. thank you for all of the help you guys provided
