Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: 2.10.1

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Change any cable from planned to installed
  2. When tracing the cable, you get the following error message:
    grafik
  3. The cable still shows up as connected, but the interface, power port, etc. shows this:
    grafik
  4. When the page is reloaded, at the point where it shows the connection, there is nothing there anymore:
    grafik
    This shows up on both connected devices.
  5. When looking at the cable, it still shows up as connected and what it is connected to.
  6. This bug was reproducable for both me and a colleague, who used the demo version.

Expected Behavior

Cable should still be properly connected when changed from planned to installed

Observed Behavior

When tracing a cable, you get an error message and the connection doesn't show up everywhere anymore, even though it apparently still exists.
