Issue with junos_package -"You must provide either 'host' or 'sock_fd' value",

[abailey8]

I am unable to install junos software on an SRX 300. I am using ansible core 2.12.10 with version 4.0.0. of the junipernetworks.junos collection. The netconf service is enabled on the SRX and I have junos-eznc installed. Here is my playbook:

- hosts: juniper
  connection: local
  vars: 
    junos_bin: junos-srxsme-15.1X49-D170.4-domestic.tgz
    
  tasks:
    - name: Install Package On Remote Device
      junipernetworks.junos.junos_package: 
        src: /home/andrew/software/juniper/{{ junos_bin }}
        reboot: no

I get the following error:

"changed": false,
"module_stderr": "You must provide either 'host' or 'sock_fd' value",
"module_stdout": "",
"msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error"

Hi,
I have the same issue with the latest ansible version with provider being deprecated.
It works with ansible 2.4.
When will this be fixed. Thanks for the reply.

I have a similar issue. Posted bug #608 under Juniper's GitHub

Has anyone found a workaround since it seems this issue has been open a couple months with no update?
