Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.1.2

Python Version

3.11

Steps to Reproduce

  1. import the custom script below.
  2. Execute the script.
  3. check the logging and the output information
from extras.scripts import *
from dcim.models import DeviceType,


class CreateCable(Script):
    class Meta:
        name = "Create Cable"
        description = "Create a cable"
        commit_default = True
        scheduling_enabled = False

    device_1 = ObjectVar(
        label="Gerät 1",
        description="Wählen Sie ein Gerät.",
        model=Device,
        required=False,
    )

    def run(self, data, commit):
        self.data = data
        self.commit = commit
        self.output = "test"
        self.log_info(f"Type: {type(self.output)}")
        self.log_debug(f"Type: {type(self.output)}")

        return f"Type: {type(self.output)}"

Expected Behavior

I would expect the type() function to be correctly visible in the logging and output area of Netbox. However, it is only visible in the output area.

I have used this function in the past to debug custom scripts.
I used to use Netbox v3.7.1 where it worked.
In versions v4.1.1.1 and v4.1.2 this is apparently no longer the case.

Observed Behavior

It is only visible in the output area.

The script's logging methods support HTML output. If you want to output raw Python objects (which are represented with opening and closing angle brackets), you'll need to escape the output to avoid it being rendered as HTML.
