This pull request improves the handling of auto-created component objects (such as interfaces and module bays) to prevent duplicate creation when applying changes through the API. It introduces logic to detect and update existing components that were instantiated from templates, ensuring that incoming changes reuse and update these objects rather than creating new duplicates. The changes are validated with new tests that verify correct reuse and updating of components.
Component Deduplication Logic:
_apply_changeinnetbox_diode_plugin/api/applier.pyto check for existing auto-created components (likedcim.interface,dcim.modulebay, etc.) before creating new ones, and to update them if found instead of creating duplicates.Testing Improvements:
test_module_bay_from_template_no_duplicateandtest_interface_from_template_no_duplicatetonetbox_diode_plugin/tests/test_api_apply_change_set.pyto verify that module bays and interfaces created from templates are reused and updated, not duplicated, when ingested via API changes.Operational Tuning:
start_periodfor the NetBox service indocker/docker-compose.yamlfrom 60s to 180s to allow more time for startup before healthchecks begin.
