mx_firewall_control - Unable to update ruleset from input-file or directly

[maxencecolson]

Hello,

I try to use the script mx_firewall_control.py to update rulesets L3 but I've got a error message with the commands to add a ruleset.

PS C:\Meraki Python Scripts> python mxfirewallcontrol.py -o "XXXXX" -f "type:network, name: Template site MX67" -c append-file:update_input.txt

2023-07-20 18:43:08 -- ERROR: Unable to load source ruleset

But I think to follow and apply correctly the format for the file as explained on the README (to be honest, it's just a test so I don't modify a lot the template txt file provided). Also the txt file is in the same folder than the .PY.

Below the file:
update_input.txt

Also I tried to use the direct command, and I've the same type of error with an invalid format.

PS C:\Meraki Python Scripts> python mxfirewallcontrol.py -o "XXXXX" -f"type:network, name:Template site MX67" -c

What I'm doing wrong ?

PS1: I don't have any issue for the "print" command
PS2: I use Windows10/Visual Studio Code to launch the script.

In advance, thank you very much

UPDATE:
I fixed the 1rst issue, it's related to add an "ENTER" (line break) at the end of the txt file.
But not for the second case with JSON Format.
