Error Implementing Scripts

[jacen2110]

I recently started using Netbox and am trying to load scripts, but when I did this is the error I get. I thought I restarted the WSGI, but I am not totally sure. How do you restart it exactly?:

WSGI service not restarted after upgrade - If this installation has recently been upgraded, check that the WSGI service (e.g. gunicorn or uWSGI) has been restarted. This ensures that the new code is running.

The complete exception is provided below:

<class 'ModuleNotFoundError'>

No module named 'pynetbox'

Python version: 3.8.10
NetBox version: 3.4.5

When you say "trying to load scripts", what exactly do you mean? Did you put some code in the /opt/netbox/netbox/scripts/ directory?

If so, then it seems your custom script is trying to use a module "pynetbox" but you don't have this available in your netbox virtualenv. Try adding pynetbox to local_requirements.txt then re-running upgrade.sh to rebuild the virtualenv. As an aside though: it would be very unusual for a custom script to use pynetbox, when it has direct access to the Django models and can access the database safely using transactions (this allows the custom script to have a dry run which is rolled back)

If that's not the case, then please can you explain more clearly what you're doing, and show the code.

Asked ChatGPT for some help and it suggested two things and neither of them fixed it unfortunately

Sigh. ChatGPT is not intelligent: it spews out stuff which might have been said by someone in the past (or is a combination of things that other people said in the past). The stuff it generates looks plausible, sometimes even authoritative, but is often wrong.

Yeah, I have found that to be true but it is better than I at scripting (lol)

Hi i have the same issue ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'extras.scripts'
did you try to find a way to solve it

It's very likely not the same issue.

Start a new thread. In that thread, show your Netbox version, the actual code you're trying to run, how you're running it (e.g. is it a custom script being run from the web interface, a report being run from the web interface, a standalone script etc), and the full backtrace.
