Misleading error message printed when using `manage.py runscript`

[iraduica]

Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.1.1

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

This was happening because I was trying to import a python lib that wasn't installed.

Expected Behavior

In the UI there should be some kind of error message, not just the removal of "Run Script" button, also in the error message printed by the CLI version, at least the name of the script should be mentioned.

Observed Behavior

In GUI there is no error message, only "Run Script" button was removed, while in CLI the error message displayed is:

@iii-arch I'm getting a different error message, can you please provide a simple sample script to make sure this is the same issue.

[iraduica]

Sure, here is the sample:

from netaddr import IPNetwork

from extras.scripts import Script
from ipam.models import IPAddress
from objexplore import explore

name = "Test Script"

class Test(Script):
    class Meta:
        name="Test"
        description="Test Script"
    def run(self, data, commit):
        address = IPAddress(
            address = IPNetwork("10.1.1.1/24")
        )
        address.save()
