Error when running example script from documentation from CLI.

[akire0ne]

Hello ! We are implementing Netbox and we want to develop scripts for our use cases. Testings script from GUIs is not super convenient so we want to be able to test trough CLI.

I am not able to run the Example script from documentation (https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/customization/custom-scripts/#example) with the ./manage.py runscript command

I created beforehand a manufacturer ("some-manu") and a device type ("some-device"), The script works in GUI.

Trying to run the script with this command, but it fails:

(venv-py3) root@netbox-server:/xxxxx/netbox/current/netbox# ./manage.py runscript --data '{"site_name": "some-city", "switch_count": 10, "manufacturer": "some-manu","switch_model": "some-switch"}' testscript.NewBranchScript

	manufacturer: Select a valid choice. That choice is not one of the available choices.

Tried to play with --user and --loglevel without help. When I look for objects with the nbshell , I can see that my objects exists

>>> DeviceType.objects.all()
<RestrictedQuerySet [<DeviceType: some-switch>]>
>>> Manufacturer.objects.all()
<RestrictedQuerySet [<Manufacturer: some-manu>]>

I can't find much info on how to use this tool on the documentation. What I am doing wrong ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, I run Netbox v3.4.3 on a ubuntu 20 VM.

Thanks !
