unsupported operand type after netbox upgrade and netbox-sync update

[Gimly86]

Hello,

I updated my Netbox from 3.4.x to 4.1.11 andnetbox-sync to 1.8.0 via GIT, and when I launche the command, I have this error :

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/SOS-DATA/netbox-sync/netbox-sync.py", line 23, in from module.sources import instantiate_sources File "/home/SOS-DATA/netbox-sync/module/sources/init.py", line 11, in from module.sources.vmware.connection import VMWareHandler File "/home/SOS-DATA/netbox-sync/module/sources/vmware/connection.py", line 29, in from module.sources.common.source_base import SourceBase File "/home/SOS-DATA/netbox-sync/module/sources/common/source_base.py", line 22, in class SourceBase: File "/home/SOS-DATA/netbox-sync/module/sources/common/source_base.py", line 182, in SourceBase def return_longest_matching_prefix_for_ip(self, ip_to_match=None, site_name=None) -> NBPrefix|None: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |: 'type' and 'NoneType'

I dos this :

• delete cache => same error
• remove netbox-sync and reinstall netbox-sync from fresh install => same error.

Do you have an idea to solve my problem, please ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Hi,

Which python version are you using?

I have the same Issue. I have followed the installation guide and attempted to run the .py for the first time. I'm using Rocky Linux 9 and the default Python 3.9. Trying to run with the debug option gives the same results.

We are running Python 3.6.8 and get the same error. v170 runs fine but v180 does not. I have tried re-using the venv from 170 and also creating a fresh one for 180 and still get the same error

Ok so it looks like you have added type hints with operator | which only comes into play from version 3.10.0. That being the case i added from typing import Union,Optional

I modified the following lines in module/sources/common/source_base.py:

Line 182: def return_longest_matching_prefix_for_ip(self, ip_to_match=None, site_name=None) -> NBPrefix|None:

to

def return_longest_matching_prefix_for_ip(self, ip_to_match=None, site_name=None) -> Optional[NBPrefix]:

and

Line 719: def add_vlan_group(self, vlan_data, vlan_site, vlan_cluster) -> NBVLAN | dict:

to

def add_vlan_group(self, vlan_data, vlan_site, vlan_cluster) -> Union[NBVLAN ,dict]:

This should work for python versions <3.10.0, not sure if will work for above as well.

I am currently running the sync script, it will take a few hours before i know if this change works, but it hasnt bombed out immediately like it was prior to the changes.

I am unfamiliar with making a pull request to submit a fix if this works...

Hi,

Which python version are you using?

Hi,

I use Python 3.9.2. Should I use the python version 3.10 branch ?

[parlortrickss]

The modifications i made to the code, worked. Sync has completed.

[Gimly86]

I made the change, and it work for me too. Thanks @parlortrickss !

[LeighBennettCP]

I also made the change and this fixed it for mine too. Thanks again @parlortrickss

Hi,

sorry I was busy lately and haven't had time looking into this issue. Thank you so much for figuring this out. I just pushed a commit to the development branch which adds @parlortrickss suggested changes.

[bb-Ricardo]

just need to keep this open until the new version is released. Thank you.
