Change Summary
The function
copy
in vyos.configtree does not recursively create intermediary nodes of the target path; only the last node of the path is created. However, the error was not being caught/reported in case of a non-existent node. Corrected error reporting is provided in the PR's:vyos/vyos1x-config#12 (merged)
vyos/libvyosconfig#6 (merged)
and is passed to
ConfigTreeError
in this PR.Types of changes
