Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: v2.10.4

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create 3 sites in different regions with devices
  2. create 2 circuits
  3. connect one device from site A to Site C via Site B
    multipleSites

Expected Behavior

Trace from interface 1 (site A) to interface 2 (site C)
1-n-splice-noCircuite-Cable Trace for Interface gi25 - NetBox

Observed Behavior

trace breaks at the first circuit.
1-n-splice-Circuite-Cable Trace for Interface gi25 - NetBox

Works as expected if I don't use circuits and directly connect ports from different sites. (trace from the first picture is the result)

This is expected behavior and is specifically called out in the v2.10 release notes: Circuits are considered endpoints of the cable path. This change was made to fix several bugs which had plagued the cable tracing logic for a long time.
