@Kani999 So this only fixed get_facts() it doesn't fix anything else.

Can you see if this works on your failing device?

@Kani999 What issue did you run into with the get_interfaces call and are you still running into it with this updated code here?

#1668 There are changes for get_interfaces() method, which works with IOS-XR 7.3.3
I have to look at the rest of the methods and find out all the problems.

Okay, I will try to incorporate the get_interfaces() fixes (since get_facts() calls get_interfaces()).

Have you tried using the iosxr_netconf driver in NAPALM (i.e. does that driver work properly with your 7.3.3 code)?

iosxr_netconf works fine except get_environment. Which does not work with XML too.

I'm looking at the get_environment method to get it to work via XML calls, but with no luck. Other supported methods, should be working with the changes.
