Environment

  • Python version: 2.7.12
  • NetBox version: 2.4.4

Steps to Reproduce

Import a CSV with an unknown device type

Expected Behavior

An error showing the line in the csv which contains an unknown device type

Is there somewhere I can privately share more extensive debug information?

Please post the exact steps needed to recreate this error, beginning with the creation of the device type(s). The full stack trace would also be helpful.

It is quite simple to reproduce, create a rack, manufacturer, device role, site and try to import the following device:

ast733,Blade Chassis,SuperMicro,ast733,rack3,Front,25,,STH,Active

Note that the third last column (model_name) is empty, this causes an exception
