From 015051dfd7f1b4a6b37cf59f9eae320ee68a55a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: bctiemann Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 15:26:35 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/25] Closes #268: Add display_expression for composite custom object names (#586) * Closes #268: Add display_expression for composite custom object names Adds a Jinja2 display_expression field to CustomObjectType. When set, CustomObject.__str__() renders it with all field values as context instead of falling back to the single primary-field display name. - models.py: display_expression CharField(max_length=500, blank=True) on CustomObjectType; CustomObject._render_display_expression() helper renders it via a SandboxedEnvironment (security); any rendering error silently falls through to the existing primary-field fallback - migration 0015 - forms.py: Display fieldset with display_expression - serializers.py: display_expression in CustomObjectTypeSerializer - customobjecttype.html: shows expression in code block when set - 5 tests: composite render, missing-field fallback, empty expression, rendering error, empty-result fallback Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 * Move display-related fields into Display fieldset Group verbose_name, verbose_name_plural, group_name, and display_expression into a Display fieldset positioned between Name and URL path/slug. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 * Clarify help text * Add performance note to _render_display_expression docstring Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 * Address agent review: caching, error handling, validation, import form, trailing separator docs - Move _compile_display_template() after imports (not in the middle of them) - Cache compiled Jinja2 templates via functools.lru_cache(maxsize=256) keyed by expression string; avoids N recompilations on list views - Move custom_object_type access inside the try block so RelatedObjectDoesNotExist and deserialization errors also fall through silently - Shorten _render_display_expression docstring to one line; move the performance/caching note to inline comments - Add clean_display_expression() to CustomObjectTypeForm: parses the expression via SandboxedEnvironment().parse() and surfaces a ValidationError with the Jinja2 error message on syntax errors - Add display_expression (plus verbose_name, verbose_name_plural, group_name) to CustomObjectTypeImportForm - Extend help_text to warn about trailing separators when referenced fields are blank, with the recommended {% if %} pattern Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 * Add trailing-separator and form-validation tests; coerce None field values to '' - _render_display_expression: coerce None return from get_display_value() to '' so unset nullable fields render as empty string rather than 'None' - test_trailing_separator_with_blank_optional_field: documents and tests the dangling-separator behaviour vs the {% if %} guard pattern - DisplayExpressionFormValidationTestCase: 4 tests covering valid expression, blank expression, invalid Jinja2 syntax, and unclosed block tag Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 * Fix ruff E501 long-line violations in test_models.py Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 * Use core render_jinja2 util instead of rolling our own * migrations: renumber display_expression migration to 0017 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 * fix: use RequestContext in CustomObjectLink.left_page() so render_table can access context.request Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 * fix: revert render_jinja2 to hand-rolled SandboxedEnvironment; fix migration newline Avoids footgun where JINJA2_FILTERS custom filters pass form validation (plain SandboxedEnvironment) but fail silently at render time (render_jinja2 picks up settings filters). Both paths now use the same environment.

Fix branch merge handling for dynamically generated Custom Object models by preserving dependency graph edges when ContentType.model_class() is not available, including self-referential multi-object fields. Create direct M2M target foreign keys as DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED and re-defer them after creation so iterative branch merges can insert through table rows before all target objects exist in the main schema. Stabilize the branching test environment by cleaning up branch schemas before flush, closing/terminating client branch connections, tuning PostgreSQL for schema-heavy tests, and limiting the branching CI job to the branching test suite. Also update CI to test against NetBox's pinned requirements without upgrading dependencies, split branching and non-branching test steps, and add compatibility stubs for inherited NetBox view tests. --- .github/workflows/lint-tests.yaml | 41 ++++++++- netbox_custom_objects/branching.py | 53 ++++++++++-- netbox_custom_objects/field_types.py | 40 +++++++++ netbox_custom_objects/tests/base.py | 85 ++++++++++++++++++- netbox_custom_objects/tests/test_branching.py | 60 ++++++++----- netbox_custom_objects/tests/test_views.py | 51 ++++++++++- testing/configuration_branching.py | 51 +++++++++++ 7 files changed, 344 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) create mode 100644 testing/configuration_branching.py diff --git a/.github/workflows/lint-tests.yaml b/.github/workflows/lint-tests.yaml index 627cdac7..db6d637d 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/lint-tests.yaml +++ b/.github/workflows/lint-tests.yaml @@ -33,12 +33,20 @@ jobs: - name: Run ruff run: ruff check tests: + name: tests (${{ matrix.name }}) runs-on: ubuntu-latest timeout-minutes: 20 strategy: fail-fast: false matrix: - netbox-ref: [ "main", "feature" ] + include: + - netbox-ref: "main" + name: "main" + - netbox-ref: "feature" + name: "feature" + - netbox-ref: "main" + name: "main, branching" + with-branching: true services: redis: image: redis @@ -80,13 +88,38 @@ jobs: pip install . pip install .[test] - name: Install dependencies & configure plugin + if: ${{ !matrix.with-branching }} working-directory: netbox run: | ln -s $(pwd)/../netbox-custom-objects/testing/configuration.py netbox/netbox/configuration.py - python -m pip install --upgrade pip - pip install -r requirements.txt -U + pip install -r requirements.txt + - name: Install dependencies & configure plugin (with branching) + if: ${{ matrix.with-branching == true }} + working-directory: netbox + run: | + ln -s $(pwd)/../netbox-custom-objects/testing/configuration_branching.py netbox/netbox/configuration.py + python -m pip install --upgrade pip + pip install -r requirements.txt + pip install 'netboxlabs-netbox-branching>=1.0.4,<2.0.0' + - name: Tune PostgreSQL for branching test performance + if: ${{ matrix.with-branching == true }} + run: | + sudo apt-get install -y -q postgresql-client + PGPASSWORD=netbox psql -h localhost -U netbox \ + -c "ALTER SYSTEM SET checkpoint_timeout = '30min'" \ + -c "ALTER SYSTEM SET max_wal_size = '2GB'" \ + -c "ALTER SYSTEM SET synchronous_commit = off" \ + -c "ALTER SYSTEM SET lock_timeout = '60s'" \ + -c "SELECT pg_reload_conf()" - name: Run tests + if: ${{ matrix.with-branching != true }} + working-directory: netbox + run: | + python netbox/manage.py test netbox_custom_objects.tests --keepdb --verbosity=2 + + - name: Run tests (with branching) + if: ${{ matrix.with-branching == true }} working-directory: netbox run: | - python netbox/manage.py test netbox_custom_objects.tests --keepdb + python netbox/manage.py test netbox_custom_objects.tests.test_branching --keepdb --verbosity=2 diff --git a/netbox_custom_objects/branching.py b/netbox_custom_objects/branching.py index 667dd1b1..f24c6eb2 100644 --- a/netbox_custom_objects/branching.py +++ b/netbox_custom_objects/branching.py @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ def objectchange_field_migrator(model, data): return resolve(data) -def _collect_co_refs(model_class, data): +def _collect_co_refs(model_class, data, model_label=None): """Return ``(app.model, pk)`` refs from CO-specific shapes in *data*.

Add docs/models/netbox_custom_objects/customobjecttype.md and a dedicated mkdocs.models.yml (site_dir points into netbox_custom_objects/static/docs/models, mirroring NetBox core's docs_url convention) so this page builds and collects correctly. Wire the build into the release workflow before packaging, since the package-data glob in pyproject.toml already includes any static/ files present at build time. Verified end-to-end: built the wheel locally and confirmed netbox_custom_objects/static/docs/models/netbox_custom_objects/customobjecttype/index.html lands at the exact path Django's AppDirectoriesFinder would collect under STATIC_ROOT. * Drop redundant leading slash in .gitignore entry * Address review findings on model-docs build - Move model doc source from docs/models/ to docs_models/, since the former overlapped with the primary mkdocs.yml's default docs_dir, causing an unreferenced-page warning on every primary docs build. - Switch mkdocs.models.yml to the lightweight built-in "mkdocs" theme and disable plugins, cutting shipped package size from 2.5MB to 1.9MB by dropping mkdocs-material's 40-language search bundle entirely (not needed for a single-page site). - Pin mkdocs/mkdocs-material version ranges in release.yaml, guarding against the upstream-announced breaking mkdocs-material 2.0 rewrite silently breaking a future release build. - Add a PR-time check to lint-tests.yaml that builds mkdocs.models.yml and asserts the expected output file exists, so a broken nav entry or config typo is caught on every PR instead of only at release time. - Add trailing newlines to the two new files, matching the rest of the docs tree. Re-verified end-to-end after these changes: wheel build still places the file at the correct path, and building the primary mkdocs.yml no longer emits the unreferenced-page warning. * Address automated review findings on mkdocs pins and release build - Pin mkdocs/mkdocs-material in pyproject.toml's dev extras to match the ranges in release.yaml, so the lint job (pip install .[dev]) can't silently pass on a mkdocs 2.x or other future release that the actual release build would never see. - Add the same output-verification assertion used in lint-tests.yaml to release.yaml, so a build producing output at the wrong location fails the release instead of silently publishing a package missing the model docs. The hardcoded blob/main GitHub links in the model doc were also flagged; left as-is, matching the existing project-wide pattern (README.md, docs/installation.md already link the same way). --- .github/workflows/lint-tests.yaml | 4 ++ .github/workflows/release.yaml | 7 +++ .gitignore | 1 + AGENTS.md | 2 + README.md | 3 +- docs/installation.md | 5 +- .../netbox_custom_objects/customobjecttype.md | 49 +++++++++++++++++++ mkdocs.models.yml | 9 ++++ pyproject.toml | 2 +- 9 files changed, 78 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs_models/netbox_custom_objects/customobjecttype.md create mode 100644 mkdocs.models.yml diff --git a/.github/workflows/lint-tests.yaml b/.github/workflows/lint-tests.yaml index db6d637d..f39f3ad2 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/lint-tests.yaml +++ b/.github/workflows/lint-tests.yaml @@ -32,6 +32,10 @@ jobs: pip install .[test] - name: Run ruff run: ruff check + - name: Build in-app model documentation + run: | + mkdocs build -f mkdocs.models.yml + test -f netbox_custom_objects/static/docs/models/netbox_custom_objects/customobjecttype/index.html tests: name: tests (${{ matrix.name }}) runs-on: ubuntu-latest diff --git a/.github/workflows/release.yaml b/.github/workflows/release.yaml index f7de66f1..630ccc30 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/release.yaml +++ b/.github/workflows/release.yaml @@ -21,6 +21,13 @@ jobs: - name: Install pypa/build run: | python3 -m pip install build + - name: Install mkdocs + run: | + python3 -m pip install 'mkdocs>=1.6,<2' 'mkdocs-material>=9.7,<10' + - name: Build in-app model documentation + run: | + mkdocs build -f mkdocs.models.yml + test -f netbox_custom_objects/static/docs/models/netbox_custom_objects/customobjecttype/index.html - name: Build distribution package run: | python3 -m build diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index 5029ad2d..7fe3dfb2 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -3,3 +3,4 @@ .claude/settings.local.json .idea/ .DS_Store +netbox_custom_objects/static/ diff --git a/AGENTS.md b/AGENTS.md index 9171d3d3..58ccc4fa 100644 --- a/AGENTS.md +++ b/AGENTS.md @@ -157,6 +157,7 @@ There is no Justfile/Makefile in this repo; commands are raw.

Support dot, bracket, and filter syntax, with per-render caching and an empty read-only queryset fallback for unknown type names. Log unresolved names once per process and prevent the filter from querying the database during Jinja template compilation. Register the integration through NetBox's jinja_filters resource and get_jinja_context hook. Older NetBox versions continue to load the plugin without exposing the new template helpers. Add unit and integration coverage for ConfigTemplate rendering, unknown types, repeated lookups, leading-digit names, and compile-time query prevention. --- docs/index.md | 36 ++ netbox_custom_objects/__init__.py | 24 ++ netbox_custom_objects/jinja_env.py | 211 ++++++++++++ .../tests/test_jinja_integration.py | 318 ++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 589 insertions(+) create mode 100644 netbox_custom_objects/jinja_env.py create mode 100644 netbox_custom_objects/tests/test_jinja_integration.py diff --git a/docs/index.md b/docs/index.md index eb175fac..cdec2b83 100644 --- a/docs/index.md +++ b/docs/index.md @@ -160,6 +160,42 @@ Notes: - A field must be an object field with both the **name and target model** above; a mis-named or mis-pointed field is simply ignored. - If a type defines **none** of these fields, aggregation is skipped entirely and its rendered context is just its Local Context Data.

Since the model primary key is not a user-defined field, no filter was registered for `id`, causing `?id=` to be silently ignored. Include `id` in `Meta.fields` so django-filter generates NetBox's standard multi-value numeric filter for the primary key without affecting the explicitly generated custom field filters. Add regression coverage to the existing filterset and API test classes. The filterset test runs across all supported scalar field types, while the API test covers a Custom Object Type with no fields and verifies that only the matching object is returned. --- netbox_custom_objects/filtersets.py | 7 ++++--- netbox_custom_objects/tests/test_api.py | 16 ++++++++++++++++ netbox_custom_objects/tests/test_filtersets.py | 5 +++++ 3 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/netbox_custom_objects/filtersets.py b/netbox_custom_objects/filtersets.py index ba319f80..fb1edf20 100644 --- a/netbox_custom_objects/filtersets.py +++ b/netbox_custom_objects/filtersets.py @@ -405,14 +405,15 @@ def get_filterset_class(model): """ Create and return a filterset class for the given custom object model.

The browser therefore never submits a value for it; Django reads the missing key as None, and ModelForm._post_clean() overwrites the existing schema_id with that None on every save -- even when the user only changed an unrelated attribute like label. Set editable=False on schema_id, matching its existing read_only_fields treatment in the REST API serializer (CustomObjectTypeFieldSerializer) and NetBox core's own convention for internal, system-managed model fields. Django's ModelForm machinery automatically drops non-editable fields from Meta.fields = '__all__', so it's simply absent from the form and never touched. Also excludes deprecated, deprecated_since, and scheduled_removal from CustomObjectTypeFieldForm: same root cause (never rendered in a fieldset, silently reset by an unrelated edit) and same fix shape, but via Meta.exclude on the form rather than editable=False on the model, since these three ARE meant to be writable through the REST API (set via the portable-schema import executor) and are not declared as explicit serializer fields there -- editable=False would have made DRF silently force them read-only in the API too. Verified via git-stash-based regression testing: the new test fails against the pre-fix code with the exact reported symptom (schema_id becomes None after an unrelated edit), and passes after the fix. * Add regression test: deprecation fields remain writable via API Per code review on #631: confirm deprecated/deprecated_since/ scheduled_removal can still be set via the REST API after excluding them from CustomObjectTypeFieldForm, since editable=False (used for schema_id) would have made DRF silently force them read-only too. Verified the test catches this failure mode: temporarily added editable=False to deprecated and confirmed the test fails with the exact symptom (PATCH succeeds but the value isn't persisted). * Hoist import json --- netbox_custom_objects/forms.py | 6 ++ ...8_alter_customobjecttypefield_schema_id.py | 16 +++++ netbox_custom_objects/models.py | 1 + netbox_custom_objects/tests/test_api.py | 25 +++++++- netbox_custom_objects/tests/test_forms.py | 64 ++++++++++++++++++- 5 files changed, 110 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 netbox_custom_objects/migrations/0018_alter_customobjecttypefield_schema_id.py diff --git a/netbox_custom_objects/forms.py b/netbox_custom_objects/forms.py index d2d242f5..55d05d3d 100644 --- a/netbox_custom_objects/forms.py +++ b/netbox_custom_objects/forms.py @@ -248,6 +248,12 @@ class CustomObjectTypeFieldForm(CustomFieldForm): class Meta: model = CustomObjectTypeField fields = '__all__' + # deprecated/deprecated_since/scheduled_removal are set via the portable-schema + # import mechanism (or directly via the REST API), never through this form -- + # excluded here so an unrelated edit doesn't silently reset them to their + # defaults. schema_id needs no entry: it's excluded automatically via the + # model field's editable=False. + exclude = ('deprecated', 'deprecated_since', 'scheduled_removal') def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super().__init__(*args, **kwargs) diff --git a/netbox_custom_objects/migrations/0018_alter_customobjecttypefield_schema_id.py b/netbox_custom_objects/migrations/0018_alter_customobjecttypefield_schema_id.py new file mode 100644 index 00000000..bdef90a7 --- /dev/null +++ b/netbox_custom_objects/migrations/0018_alter_customobjecttypefield_schema_id.py @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +from django.db import migrations, models + + +class Migration(migrations.Migration): + + dependencies = [ + ('netbox_custom_objects', '0017_customobjecttype_display_expression'), + ] + + operations = [ + migrations.AlterField( + model_name='customobjecttypefield', + name='schema_id', + field=models.PositiveIntegerField(blank=True, editable=False, null=True), + ), + ] diff --git a/netbox_custom_objects/models.py b/netbox_custom_objects/models.py index 9a02960e..78af7d72 100644 --- a/netbox_custom_objects/models.py +++ b/netbox_custom_objects/models.py @@ -2450,6 +2450,7 @@ class CustomObjectTypeField(CloningMixin, ExportTemplatesMixin, ChangeLoggedMode schema_id = models.PositiveIntegerField( blank=True, null=True, + editable=False, verbose_name=_("schema ID"), help_text=_( "Stable numeric identifier for this field used during schema diffing.

A concurrent get_model(no_cache=True) call -- lock-protected only on its own side -- could land in that window, find the through model already registered, and repoint "source" at its own (different) model instance instead, leaving the through's FK and whatever get_model() subsequently caches pointing at two different classes for the same table. That produced the intermittent ValueError ("Cannot query 'X': Must be 'TableYModel' instance.") and RecursionError reported here (recurrence of #477). Wrapping the build+register+repoint sequence in the same global lock closes the gap. Added a deterministic regression test that forces a writer thread (create_polymorphic_m2m_table) and a reader thread (get_model) into the exact interleaving via a mocked apps.register_model(), rather than relying on real thread-scheduling luck to land inside the race window.

From 43c91341fc933db3731f6f0a46259d0d4fb889f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Tiemann Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 12:36:49 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 14/25] Move #640 concurrency tests to test_schema_operations.py and trim comments PolymorphicMultiObjectConcurrencyTestCase exercises through-model registration during polymorphic multiobject field creation (a schema operation), not deletion logic -- it only lived in test_deletion.py because the investigation started from the bug's delete-time symptom. Moved it next to the other schema-creation/registry tests it actually belongs with. Also trimmed the docstrings and inline comments, which had grown into multi-paragraph explanations restating the same points -- cut to the essential why (what's already locked, what isn't, and why the fixed case times out rather than deadlocking) without re-deriving the whole investigation inline.

From 78c7f37c2f0ab4da61505ad2bfda5505ace62278 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Tiemann Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 13:59:41 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 15/25] Fixes #649: Refresh query_counts.json baseline for current NetBox main tests (main) was failing on 4 list-view query-count assertions, expecting 2 more queries than NetBox's current main branch actually issues -- an upstream prefetch/permission-check optimization shaved 2 queries off customobject-simple, customobject-objectfields, customobject-complex, and customobjecttype's list_objects_with_permission checks since these baselines were last recorded. Regenerated via UPDATE_QUERY_COUNTS=1 against a clean checkout of NetBox main (not the locally cached checkout, which was 33 commits behind and had a handful of divergent dependency pins). All four keys dropped by exactly 2 queries each, matching the CI failure precisely; no other keys changed. Re-ran the full plugin suite (1126 tests) against the same environment to confirm nothing else regressed.

Exclude hidden fields and their backing columns from create, edit, and bulk edit forms while keeping ui_editable=no fields visible and read-only. Reuse the fetched field definitions and coordinate helpers to avoid duplicate queries and naming logic. Preserve hidden non-polymorphic MultiObject fields for internal bookkeeping so configured defaults are applied when creating an object and existing relations remain unchanged when editing one.
