Ok I have now checked the python code and commented the argument newline
out (lib/ansible/modules/network/cli/cli_command.py: Line 147).
It is seems to work now.
But there is then an issue with the newline parameter on the type of
network devices.
If anybody does not have a better solution or any information I might still
be missing, I will open a feature request for prompts in eric_eccli and a
bug report for cli_command and the newline parameter.
Thank you
