Enable not working on SG300 about community.ciscosmb

Resolved by PR #74

From looking at the code, I think it's because of this

community.ciscosmb/plugins/terminal/ciscosmb.py

Lines 82 to 84 in cb9b3f3

	def on_become(self, passwd=None):
	if self._get_prompt().endswith(b"#"):
	return

where it will skip attempting an elevation if it sees a prompt starts with #. For my switch, # indicates that you're at priv 7 or 15, so this logic doesn't really work because you should still be able to elevate past privilege 7

alright... found a workaround. If I add the following task before my non-working task

    - name: disable
      become: no
      community.ciscosmb.command:
        commands:
          - disable

AND ensure that ansible_become is unset or set to no in the inventory file,

then my original task works as expected.

This forces the cli session to go to the lowest possible setting and changes the cli prefix to > instead of #, which then properly triggers the code to run an enable for subsequent tasks

If I set become: yes either in the "disable" task or globally, then I get the following error on the disable task:

{"changed": false, "msg": "Negative size passed to PyBytes_FromStringAndSize"}

Hi

my understanding to become: yes is this: immediately after login it (on cisco sw) sends enable command.

And the priv. 7 account looks like "edgy" ... but legit.

I should check privilege more exactly.

Can you test this and send me output?

    - name: Set up ansible user account
      become: yes
      community.ciscosmb.command:
        commands:
          - sh privilege
          - enable
          - sh privilege
          - config t
          - "username ansible password {{new_user_password}} privilege 15"
          - ip ssh pubkey-auth auto-login
          - exit

And just in case test this

    - name: Set up ansible user account
      become: yes
      community.ciscosmb.command:
        commands:
          - enable
          - config t
          - "username ansible password {{new_user_password}} privilege 15"
          - ip ssh pubkey-auth auto-login
          - exit

@ckhordiasma Never mind, I just checked the code and the leading test is redundant.

I will delete it and release ASAP.

Thank you for help.
