I was using salt-sproxy for a while with our Juniper-based network, and all was working fine.
I started to find some problems with the new Junos code we use (18.x)
I can communicate with the device (net.connected, net.cli, grains....etc), but I can't configure anything on it via neither net.cli nor net.load_config/template, the device isn't reporting back any diff, and sees that the new configs are already configured, even if the new set file contains new configs not configured on the device for sure.
And I can see nothing coming back from the device via rpc-reply while debugging the request.
I tested that for multiple Juniper devices with the same code, and all are the same wrong behaviour.

One more point that the same set file+ net commands are working for another Junos code different than 18, tested on 20.4 and 15.1 with no similar problem.
I added this to Salt-sproxy project as show below, amd ensured that the problem is neither with napalm nor netconf, which were tested individually and worked:

Appreciate any support and best regards, Mou
