save_config() got an unexpected keyword argument 'confirm_response'

Hi,

I am running this code against a test device, where it logs into the device and attempts to save the configuration

from nornir import InitNornir
from nornir.plugins.tasks.networking import netmiko_save_config
from nornir.plugins.functions.text import print_result

def save_config(task):
    task.run(task=netmiko_save_config,
             name='Saving configuration',
             cmd='copy running-config startup-config')

result = target_hosts.run(save_config)
print_result(result, vars=["stdout"])

However Nornir throws an exception and I get below message “save_config() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘confirm_response’”.

What’s more strange is, despite the exception, device configuration is saved to startup-config file.

That is probably a bug in Netmiko. It should probably be fixed in Netmiko (i.e. all Netmiko drivers should accept the same set of arguments for that method).

This is fixed in the Netmiko develop branch. I am going to go ahead and close this.
