NAPALM error when querying an Aruba switch

[Profecy]

Hi everybody,

I set up NAPALM according to the documentation of Netbox and installed the python modules necessary.
I also installed the Aruba NAPALM driver and specified it in my Platform config, the driver name being "aoscx".
Now when I go to a switch device, I see the tabs for NAPALM, but when I click on them, an error display which I can't figure out.

This is the error message:

{"error": "cannot import name 'system'", "exception": "ImportError", "netbox_version": "2.11.7", "python_version": "3.6.8"}

Can anbody provide some insight?

Thank you in advance!

Since the string import.*system doesn't occur anywhere in the Netbox Python source, I think it's something to do with napalm or the napalm Aruba driver. I suggest you try running napalm standalone, and get that working first:

cd /opt/netbox
. venv/bin/activate
napalm --vendor VENDOR --user USERNAME --password PASSWORD --optional_args OPTIONAL_ARGS HOSTNAME call get_facts

I notice that if I put --vendor system then I get a similar error to yours:

napalm.base.exceptions.ModuleImportError: Cannot import "system". Is the library installed?

But clearly the vendor should be something else like "aoscx".

Note: the correct way to install the napalm modules of interest inside the Netbox venv is to add them to local_requirements.txt and run ./upgrade.sh. My local_requirements.txt contains:

napalm
napalm-ros
