Closes #116

NetBox 4.7.0 refused to load the plugin because of the 4.6.99 ceiling. Raising the ceiling alone was not enough: 4.7 removed the shim that translated dict-style view actions (netbox-community/netbox#21888), so every list view would have raised AttributeError.

Changes

Verification (local NetBox 4.7.0)

  • ruff check / ruff format: clean
  • pytest: 98 passed
  • manage.py check: no issues, plugin loads
  • manage.py makemigrations --check --dry-run netbox_attachments: no changes detected
  • python -m build: netbox_attachments-12.0.0 sdist and wheel
  • get_permitted_actions() on all three list views returns the expected ObjectAction classes; serializer object_type field resolves against ObjectType

No PostgreSQL on the dev host, so list pages were not rendered in a browser.

After merge

Tag v12.0.0 and publish a GitHub release; the publish workflow uploads to PyPI.

Custom fields were omitted from the serializers' fields list, which DRF
drops silently because the field is declared on a NetBox base class. Also
remove a redundant objects manager on NetBoxAttachmentAssignment and a
stray __init__.py in the templates directory.
NetBox 4.7.0 refused to load the plugin because of the 4.6.99 ceiling.
Raising the ceiling alone is not enough: 4.7 removed the shim that
translated dict-style view actions, so every list view would raise
AttributeError. List views now declare ObjectAction classes.

Also drop the ObjectTypeField serializer shim, which 4.7 makes redundant
(ContentTypeField resolves against its declared queryset), record
related_name='+' on the owner FK to match OwnerMixin, and require
Django 6.1.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The plugin now targets NetBox 4.7.x and Django 6.1, with version 12.0.0 metadata. Serializers and list views use NetBox 4.7 APIs. The owner migration and assignment manager were updated, and documentation and regression tests were added.

Changes

NetBox 4.7 Compatibility Release

Layer / File(s) Summary
Compatibility contract and release metadata
.gitignore, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, docs/*.md, netbox_attachments/__init__.py, netbox_attachments/version.py, pyproject.toml
The plugin now supports NetBox 4.7.x and Django 6.1. The release version is 12.0.0. Documentation and changelog entries describe the new compatibility window and legacy plugin 11.x support.
NetBox 4.7 API integration
netbox_attachments/api/serializers.py, netbox_attachments/views.py, netbox_attachments/tests/test_api_custom_fields.py
Serializers use ContentTypeField, expose custom_fields in full representations, and retain brief-field exclusions. List views declare NetBox object action classes. AST tests validate serializer field declarations.
Model and migration cleanup
netbox_attachments/migrations/0012_netboxattachment_owner.py, netbox_attachments/models.py
The owner migration disables the reverse relation. NetBoxAttachmentAssignment now uses the default manager instead of a restricted-queryset manager.
