easy.broker('CustomFields') not working as expected- any thoughts?

[#1]

Hello,

I am trying to extract the real switch model from 'show inventory' using the sample API code from netmri_easy.

When running it, i am getting the following error:

*** Error / Traceback (most recent call last): 
   File "", line 155, in  
   File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/infoblox_netmri/api/broker/v3_2_0/custom_fields_broker.py", line 167, in create_field

The script i am trying is as follows:

# BEGIN-SCRIPT-BLOCK

# Script-Filter:
#     $vendor eq "Cisco"
#
# END-SCRIPT-BLOCK

from infoblox_netmri.easy import NetMRIEasy
import re
 
# This values will be provided by NetMRI before execution
defaults = {
   "api_url": api_url,
   "http_username": http_username,
   "http_password": http_password,
   "job_id": job_id,
   "device_id": device_id,
   "batch_id": batch_id
}

 # Create NetMRI context manager. It will close session after execution
with NetMRIEasy(**defaults) as easy:
     field_name = "RealModel"
     #custom field creation
     broker = easy.broker('CustomFields')
     broker.create_field(
        model='Device',
        name=field_name,
        type='string'
     )
     # get device
     device = easy.get_device()
     inventory = easy.send_command('show inventory')
     rmodel = re.search('(?<=PID: ).*$', inventory).group()

     if rmodel:
         # Custom field creation
         # all custom fields should start with 'custom_'
         device_broker = easy.broker('Device')
         field_name = "custom_{}".format(field_name)
         params = {
            'DeviceID': device.DeviceID,
            field_name: rmodel
         }
         result = device_broker.update(**params)
         print(result.custom_RealModel)

Anyone have any ideas where this is going wrong?

Thanks, Daniel

As an FYI- I get the same error running the sample as-is, with no modification of the regex search or field name.

[#3]

I'll look at it today

[#4]

I got it to work by removing:

         print(result)

I have looked into that yet

[#5]

I commented out the print(result) line, but still got the error.

If i comment out the field creation portion, since the field is already in the system, i get the following error about deviceIds.

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: {'error': 'general/validation-failed', 'message': 'The action failed because the request was not valid.', 'fields': {'DeviceID': ['is required']}}

It's funny, I ran it 3x now on the same box and no issue at all, I wonder if you need to reset your sandbox or something else going on

   "batch_id": batch_id
}

 # Create NetMRI context manager. It will close session after execution
with NetMRIEasy(**defaults) as easy:
     field_name = "RealModel"
     #custom field creation
     broker = easy.broker('CustomFields')
     broker.create_field(
        model='Device',
        name=field_name,
        type='string'
     )
     # get device
     device = easy.get_device()
     inventory = easy.send_command('show inventory')
     rmodel = re.search('(?<=PID: ).*$', inventory).group()

     if rmodel:
         # Custom field creation
         # all custom fields should start with 'custom_'
         device_broker = easy.broker('Device')
         field_name = "custom_{}".format(field_name)
         params = {
            'DeviceID': device.DeviceID,
            field_name: rmodel
         }
         result = device_broker.update(**params)
         print(result)

Yea, this is strange.   I reset the sandbox but am still getting the error.

I'm not seeing anything that could be missing, and if you are running the same code with no issues, something must be broken internally.

I'm running "7.3.1.90807"

I am still on 7.2.1.87960.
