[sboutang]

Bug Report

NetBox Python version:
0.1.6

Current behavior:
no update happens

When I use nb.ipam.prefixes.update, no update happens
Expected behavior:
I would expect the http patch data to update and the server to respond with the updated data.

I excpect the server to respond with the changed data
Steps to reproduce:
Below code, is a simple example of just trying to update a description

Related code:

In the below code I am just trying to change the description. It doesn't update using the netbox-python module

when I re-write it to use the requests module it does update as expected

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import json
import requests
from netbox_python import NetBoxClient, Result
nb = NetBoxClient(
base_url="https://netbox.domain.com/", token="<YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>"
)

def update_prefix():
prefix_id = 682
data = {"id": 682, "prefix": "192.168.71.0/25", "description": "LAB Management", "site": {"id": 279}, "tenant": {"id": 2}, "vlan": {"id": 637}}
ret = nb.ipam.prefixes.update(prefix_id, json=data)
print(f"status code: {ret.response.status_code}")
print("netbox-python module prefixes update:")
print(json.dumps(ret.data, indent=2))

url = "https://netbox.domain.com/api/ipam/prefixes/{}/".format(prefix_id)
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Token <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
data = {"id": 682, "prefix": "192.168.71.0/25", "description": "LAB Management", "site": {"id": 279}, "tenant": {"id": 2}, "vlan": {"id": 637}}
ret = requests.patch(url, json=data, headers=headers)
print(f"status code: {ret.status_code}")
print("requests module prefixes update:")
print(json.dumps(ret.json(), indent=2))

if name == "main":
update_prefix()
