Originally created by @davetayl on GitHub (Jul 16, 2020).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.8.0
  • NetBox version: v2.8.8-dev
    Running on CentOS Linux release 8.2.2004 (Core)
    App location /opt/netbox, front end with Apache/WSGI
    Firewalld disabled
    Selinux Permissive

The instances is working well other than the issue described here

Steps to Reproduce

  1. pip install nextbox-ui-plugin
  2. add netbox-ui-plugin to configuration.py
PLUGINS = [
    'nextbox-ui-plugin',
]
  1. ./manage.py makemigrations
  2. fails
  3. if the following code is used, it works.
PLUGINS = [
    'nextbox_ui_plugin',
]

With other plugins this method doesn't work.

Expected Behavior

plugin is loaded with no error

Observed Behavior

Plugin unable to be found.

The behaviour seems somewhat consistent across all the listed plugins (pip search netbox | grep plugin), aside from the couple of plugins that won't load at all, all the others are unable to be found, in the one case listed, the change mentioned solved the issue, however this was not the case for any other plugins.

NetBox version: 2.7.3

Is this correct? Plugins are only supported on NetBox v2.8.0 and later.

I'm not sure what you're considering to be a bug here. I was able to install nextbox-ui-plugin per the project's instructions on NetBox v2.8.7 without issue. Note that nextbox-ui-plugin is the PyPI package name, whereas nextbox_ui_plugin is the plugin name.

With other plugins this method doesn't work.

You need to follow the specific instructions of each plugin for its installation.

You'll need to address that with the maintainers of those plugins then, I suppose. There's nothing actionable here from the NetBox side.
