[NETCONF-540] Missing message-id in error reply when namespace prefix is used

Fri, 27 Apr 2018 09:21:32 +0000

I am using Honeycomb with ncclient.

Request example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<nc:rpc xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" message-id="urn:uuid:0a7afdc8-359d-435b-b8cd-9458455b7e5e">
<nc:commit/>
</nc:rpc>

Reply:

<rpc-reply xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<rpc-error>
<error-type>application</error-type>
<error-tag>operation-failed</error-tag>
[...]
</rpc-error>
</rpc-reply>

It is causing troubles for ncclient, because it cannot be matched to request:

DEBUG:ncclient.transport.ssh:Broke out of main loop, error=OperationError("Could not find 'message-id' attribute in <rpc-reply>",)
DEBUG:ncclient.transport.session:dispatching error to <ncclient.operations.rpc.RPCReplyListener object at 0x7fe7de4b3810>
DEBUG:ncclient.transport.session:dispatching error to <ncclient.transport.session.NotificationHandler object at 0x7fe7de4b37d0>
INFO:ncclient.operations.rpc:Requesting 'CloseSession'
