Getting error on installation

[harshadsowani]

Hi, I'm running Netbox v3.2.4 and wanted to install this plugin, did a 'pip install netbox-documents==0.5.0' under the netbox venv and that installed fine. Then added the plugin entry to configuration.py as described in the install instructions. Then tried running the database migrations but got this error:

python manage.py migrate Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/netbox-3.2.4/netbox/manage.py", line 10, in <module> execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/opt/netbox-3.2.4/venv/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 446, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/opt/netbox-3.2.4/venv/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 420, in execute django.setup() File "/opt/netbox-3.2.4/venv/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/django/__init__.py", line 24, in setup apps.populate(settings.INSTALLED_APPS) File "/opt/netbox-3.2.4/venv/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/django/apps/registry.py", line 124, in populate app_config.ready() File "/opt/netbox-3.2.4/netbox/extras/plugins/__init__.py", line 73, in ready menu_items = import_object(f"{self.__module__}.{self.menu_items}") File "/opt/netbox-3.2.4/netbox/extras/plugins/utils.py", line 31, in import_object spec.loader.exec_module(module) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 850, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 228, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/opt/netbox-3.2.4/venv/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/netbox_documents/navigation.py", line 1, in <module> from extras.plugins import PluginMenuItem, PluginMenu, PluginMenuButton ImportError: cannot import name 'PluginMenu' from 'extras.plugins' (/opt/netbox-3.2.4/netbox/extras/plugins/__init__.py)

This is the first plugin I've ever tried to install so I must be missing something basic. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Appreciate all the help!

This was a bug on the plugin's side as it was importing PluginMenu which is a 3.4 addition.

I've pushed a new version 0.5.1 which should fix your issue. let me know how it goes.

Thanks for the prompt response Jason! I tried installing 0.5.1 and now getting a different error when running the database migration:

I believe the issue is that the 3rd migration was built with a newer version of Netbox which introduced a new override for the DjangoJSONEncoder

Unfortunately I don't see an easy way to resolve that. I'd suggest upgrading to Netbox 3.3.x or higher.

i upgraded to 3.5.1 today and successfully installed this plugin - thanks for the help, @jasonyates ! this is an awesome plugin.. any plans to add compatibility for other models like racks for example?
