@kollross Thank you for opening a bug report. I was unable to reproduce the reported behavior on NetBox v4.0.2. "that script is missing the button." I don't know what that script is - the existing scripts I have on my installation still have the Run Script button. Can you please check what is different about the script then your other scripts, generally a run script button missing would indicate that there is an issue with the script code.

@bitcollector1 "What is worse is there is no way to delete the script now" please file a separate issue if you are running into this and can reproduce.

Note: There is a PR #15441 that adds better script error reporting (to show errors in the script code) - I'm guessing (without a repo scenario) that the scripts without the run button has an error, that PR would make it easier to find.

I was able to delete my script that had issues by going into the shell and deleting the event rule that was causing the issue deleting the problematic script

>>> EventRule.objects.all()
<RestrictedQuerySet [<EventRule: IP Updated>]>

>>> EventRule.objects.all().delete()
(2, {'extras.EventRule_object_types': 1, 'extras.EventRule': 1})
>>> 
>>> EventRule.objects.all().delete()
(0, {})

I can see my script now, it was in fact related to an error in the code that was preventing it from loading correctly.

Thanks you @arthanson very much for helping me see and fix my issue. This can get very tricky, with all the dependencies and changes going on :)

  1. Made change to existing code but had a syntax error
  2. Script then broke, but gave no real warning.....other than disappearing from GUI (I was using curl so did not see this)
  3. I was not able to delete the script due to the fact it was tied to the event rule
  4. I then had to go into nbshell to delete the event rule --> could not do it from GUI
  5. then I was able to delete the problem script
  6. finally able to reupload the new working script that had no errors.

@kollross commented on GitHub (May 16, 2024):

During the upgrade to 4.0.2 one of the required pip modules wasn't installed. But because I couldn't run the script from the GUI, there was no viable output to tell me it had a missing module. Deleting the script, and re-adding it produced a buttonless section of the script. Tailing the logs when deleting and re-adding the script also produced no errors. The only way I was able to troubleshoot to was to drop into /opt/netbox/venv/bin/python and running the script line by line to see where the erroring out.

Thank goodness for "https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/discussions/12813" otherwise this sort of thing would also impossible to troubleshoot.
