Bulk Import behavior

[sepetuks]

Plugin Version

0.5.5

NetBox Version

4.2.9

Python Version

3.12.5

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create and activate new branch.
2. Select IPAM-> prefixes and bulk import
3. put your bulk import data.
4. In the middle of data make a mistake that the import would fail (lets say define wrong VRF)
   The same applies to some other objects where name/item uniqueness is not being checked (VRFs, Chassis and etc.).

Data set for import

prefix;status;vrf;vlan_group
192.168.100.0/22;active;abc;mygroup1
10.113.128.128/29;active;dbc;mygroup1
10.116.0.129/29;active;efg;mygroup1
10.1.29.0/24;active;ghj;mygroup1

Before you try this import:

• make sure you have VLAN group "mygroup1" existing.
• make sure you have all VRFs existing.
• Make sure all prefixes do NOT exist.

When I try to do import in such conditions, I get following error:

Record 3 prefix: 10.116.0.129/29 is not a valid prefix. Did you mean 10.116.0.128/29?
But problem is that import for record 1 and 2 was still performed.

p.s. initial issue was raised in Netbox project: netbox-community/netbox#19026 and closed with comment to open it in netbox-branching project

Expected Behavior

None of the data should imported if there are any errors on data.

Observed Behavior

• If the main branch is used then import failure behaves properly: none of data was imported

• If doing that on any other branch:
  Data up to the the failing line is imported.
  Error where the failure occurred is shown for short time and then disappears.
  It is not clear which part of data import was successful (especially if you miss that error popup).
  If you try to load data again you get duplicate records (in this case prefixes) again till the failing line.

This should be fixed in NetBox via netbox-community/netbox#19651

Confirmed fixed in NetBox v4.3.6, closing
