(*interface {}) is not supported by the TextConsumer, can be resolved by supporting TextUnmarshaler interface

[kashyappatel1988]

Hi there,
I am getting weird error with the this provider version on MAC m1. Does this plugin has support for MAC with M1 chip ?
Netbox version is 3.1.5

 Error: 0x1400019acc8 (*interface {}) is not supported by the TextConsumer, can be resolved by supporting TextUnmarshaler interface

This looks more like a version issue to me. Did you read version compatibility guide?

[kashyappatel1988]

Yeah I did try other versions 1.2 and 1.3, which gave some other issue :(

Well, for netbox 3.1.5, you should be able to use the provider versions up to (but excluding) 1.6.
So you should go with the latest 1.5.x provider. Generally speaking, when a provider was released, it definitely worked against the version specified in the compatibilty guide.

If that does not help, I cannot help you. We do not support old netbox versions (and the corresponding providers). The error you are getting is also quite generic, so I cannot help you just based on the message.

Another option would be to upgrade your netbox and use a newer provider.

Hey!
I had exactly the same error, the origin of the problem was the trailing at the end of the server_url in the provider block.

make sure you don't have it:

provider "netbox" {
server_url = "https://your-netbox-url
api_token = var.netbox_token
}

[fbreckle]

Good point, in this case, this is a duplicate of #198

I think I might have to re-consider disallowing a trailing slash in the url!

[kashyappatel1988]

thanks for your comment. I dont have forward slash at tailing end however similar error.
It does say some seem like go lang issues. I am on M1 mac

I have encountered the same issue. For me the issue was due to an additional authentication that I have setup in front of netbox. (Cloudflare access). Once I disabled cloudflare access for the site, I was able to authenticate with a token. (By default the superadmin token has no IP allowed, so I had to manually create another token).

As an FYI, we also ran into this issue.

Seems to have been caused by us updating the schema of the DB before the app was updated to 3.5. Once we got the app updated, the error went away for the new resources we were adding.

[bloudraak]

I also ran into this issue. In this case, this had to do with a DNS related issue where netbox.oak01.example.net was available on port 80, but when going through port 443, the firewall will NAT it to another server which returned 403 and an HTML body.

Other Go applications reported similiar issues and it was corrected through better error handling.

I have encountered the same issue. The error occurs only on M1 mac, everything is successful on gitlab runner

Hello,

we were triggering issue Error: 0xc0002a8ad0 (*interface {}) is not supported by the TextConsumer, can be resolved by supporting TextUnmarshaler interface' quite often when API of NetBox server is used.

What we figured out the problem is caused by Connection reset during max-requests auto-restart with gthread (benoitc/gunicorn#3038).

So workaround is to set
max_requests = 0
for NetBox's server side gunicorn.

Fix at least in my opinion is: The client shall NOT expect connection to server API to be 100% stable. So it shall do a few retries if network connection glitch happens.

Best!

I'm seeing this problem across MacOS arm64, Linux arm64 & amd64. The only platform I don't see it with is Windows amd64.

Tried settings max_requests = 0 but did not work.
