Error when trying to use update() on endpoint

Versions:

• Python 3.9
• Netbox 3.2.4
• Pynetbox 6.6.2

My code (following almost exactly the documentation):

from pynetbox import api

nb = api(
    'https://netbox.local',
    token='******************************************'
)

test = nb.dcim.devices.update([
    {'id': 1, 'name': 'test'}
])

What I expected:

The device with id 1 should be renamed ‘test’.

What I actually get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/bapth/PyCharm/test-env/nb-test.py", line 8, in <module>
    test = nb.dcim.devices.update([
  File "/Users/bapth/PyCharm/test-env/.env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pynetbox/core/endpoint.py", line 374, in update
    req = Request(
  File "/Users/bapth/PyCharm/test-env/.env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pynetbox/core/query.py", line 427, in patch
    return self._make_call(verb="patch", data=data)
  File "/Users/bapth/PyCharm/test-env/.env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pynetbox/core/query.py", line 287, in _make_call
    raise RequestError(req)
pynetbox.core.query.RequestError: The request failed with code 400 Bad Request: {'non_field_errors': ['Expected a list of items but got type "dict".']}

Comments

I get this error since I both updated Netbox and pynetbox. Since my code is using the update function it no longer works. I don’t know if this could change anything but I’m using an Apple M1 chip. I have also tried to update with a list of Record object but it does not work either:

from pynetbox import api

nb = api(
    'https://netbox.local',
    token='******************************************'
)

devices = nb.dcim.devices.all()
for d in devices:
    d.name = d.name + '-test'

test = nb.dcim.devices.update(devices)

I finally found where was my mistake. I did not specify the port of my netbox server when using the api object. By just replacing

nb = api(
    url='https://netbox.local',
    token='my-token'
)

with

nb = api(
    url='https://netbox.local:443',
    token='my-token'
)

it all works just fine… Sorry for the useless issue report and thank you again for your kick answer.

Then it is working fine. So I assume pynetbox does not add these brackets… But now I can not to understand why it is working for you and not for me 🤔

Acutally it does add the brackets 🤔 I verified it by adding a print(data) in the query.py file

        ...
        if not url_override:
            if self.filters:
                params.update(self.filters)
            if add_params:
                params.update(add_params)
        print(data)  # Added line 
        req = getattr(self.http_session, verb)(
            url_override or self.url, headers=headers, params=params, json=data
        )

        if req.status_code in [204, 409] and verb == "post":
            raise AllocationError(req)
        ...

I do get [{'id': 1, 'name': 'test'}] in my terminal before raising the error. So I do not really understand where the issue come from 😔
