Toggling cable from installed, to planned back to installed breaks cable tracing.

See original GitHub issue

Environment

Python version: 3.9.1
NetBox version: 2.10.1

After I connect an interface to another interface or rear port (have only tested these two), then toggle the cable from installed, to planned and back to installed, cable tracing breaks with the following error.

<class 'dcim.models.cables.CablePath.DoesNotExist'>

CablePath matching query does not exist.

Python version: 3.9.1
NetBox version: 2.10.1

Steps to Reproduce

Connect cable to another interface or rear port. Cable tracking works.
Mark cable as planned. Cable tracking works and shows cable as planned.
Mark cable as installed. Cable tracing breaks with the error shown above.

Expected Behavior

Expect that toggling the cable between planned and installed doesn’t break tracing.

Observed Behavior

Toggling the cable from installed, to planned back to installed breaks cable tracing.

A side note, I think the icon for a connected and planned cable should be swapped.

I cannot reproduce the problem after setting CACHE_TIMEOUT = 0.

Ah, I see. This seems to be a caching bug. Just to confirm, if you disable caching by setting CACHE_TIMEOUT = 0 in configuration.py, can you still reproduce the problem?
