Error importing devices

[alarido]

I get this error when I'm importing a device, no other error, no details:

It happens when you do not specify the Position and Face which are supposed to be optional.

BTW, thanks for netbox it's an awesome piece of software

We're going to need a lot more information to help you. Could you please indicate the version of software you're running and provide the CSV data you're attempting to import?

[alarido]

Sorry, I forgot.

Version 1.2.2, the CSV lines I tried:

Success:
devicename,devicetype,,serialnumber,sitename,rackname,deviceposition,devicefacingside

Failure:
devicename,devicetype,,serialnumber,sitename,rackname,,

Problem is devices I'm trying to import are non-racked I can't specify a position or facing side.

Thx in advance

#198 should cover this by allowing devices not in a rack with scope limited to (storage, work bench, etc)

We have quite a bit of n+1 switches/servers in house that would be great to have in the system.

I agree though that every laptop, monitor, tablet doesnt need to be in netbox but accounting for DCIM gear active or inactive would be nice

Rack position and face are optional fields. However, the format

devicename,devicetype,,serialnumber,sitename,rackname,,

is incorrect. The correct format is

name,device_role,manufacturer,model,platform,serial,site,rack,position,face

[alarido]

Sorry I was in a hurry and I replied fast and dirty so I missed the role and manufacturer fields

I'm correctly creating the CSV when I import just one line to test and I specify the face it works:

Success:
name,device_role,manufacturer,model,platform,serial,site,rack,position,face
name,device_role,manufacturer,model,platform,serial,site,rack,,face
Failure:
name,device_role,manufacturer,model,platform,serial,site,rack,position,
name,device_role,manufacturer,model,platform,serial,site,rack,,

Can confirm this behavior in the v1.2.2 release, but not on the current develop branch. Looks like it was fixed yesterday as part of dd62caf.

Going to mark this closed, but please ask to re-open if you continue having problems with the next release.

Confirmed It's fixed in last stable version 1.3.0
Thx
