Can this be updated to support Foreman 3.4?

[mscrnt]

I've been trying to get this working on a test server that I have Foreman 3.4 w/ katello 4.6 and I keep running into issues when running foreman-rake.

 /usr/sbin/foreman-rake db:seed --trace
** Invoke db:seed (first_time)
** Invoke db:load_config (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
rake aborted!
ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Name has already been taken

I didn't pull from git hub. I used this cmd... dnf install rubygem-foreman_netbox.noarch

I had to edit foreman's settings.rb to get to that point. Here's what I did...

require 'resolv'

class Setting < ApplicationRecord
  attr_accessor :description, :default, :full_name, :encrypted
...

I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks.

@mscrnt https://github.com/dm-drogeriemarkt/foreman_netbox/pull/98 is merged, can you check if it fixes the issue?

[mscrnt]

@kamils-iRonin Sorry, I don't think I can test the fix in the current state. I've spent a good amount of time today trying to install from github with no joy. I'm just not that experienced with the program yet.

If you are willing to share instruction on how to install from github or publish as a gem, I can test the fix for you.

Really appreciate all the work you are putting into this.

@mscrnt a new version of the gem (1.1.1) has just been released, see https://rubygems.org/gems/foreman_netbox/versions/1.1.1

[mscrnt]

@kamils-iRonin This did not seem to fix the issue. I'm able to install the gem without dependencies, but it doesn't add the tab to the settings page.

When I install w/dependencies, I receive this error...

Fetching openssl-3.1.0.gem

You might have to install separate package for the ruby development
environment, ruby-dev or ruby-devel for example.

This was actually the error I was getting when trying to install from github, so I guess I might have been doing that correctly.

After installing ruby-devel, I get a slightly different error...

Hope that helps out. Let me know if you want me to try anything else.

I've also attached my mkmf.log file in case that has any additional info. mkmf.log

Thanks

Ok, I was able to get it running on Foreman 3.5. Not sure If I just don't know foreman well enough or if there is an issue with the plugin.

In order to install it, I needed to...

1. Install via github

   • gem install specific_install
   • gem specific_install -l https://github.com/dm-drogeriemarkt/foreman_netbox.git

2. Install via dnf

   • dnf install rubygem-foreman_netbox.noarch

3. run foreman-rake db:migrate

4. Restart the Foreman Service

   • foreman-maintain service restart

If I just do one or the other, foreman fails to restart services.

Having a similar issue, but with Foreman 3.5. We have a need to upgrade to Satellite 6.13, which moves from Foreman 3.3 to 3.5 and have the same issue as mscrnt. We did not attempt his method yet because it fails during satellite-install when doing foreman-rake db:seed
