Hey @admin_hw,
this seems to need the changes for the new zeitwerk loader.
I am part of the maintainers. I look into it and create a new release.
The plugin is kind of neglected because we don’t use it our selfs anymore and have no ability to test it.

Hello @ochnerd,
thank you for your reply. I will be very grateful to be solved by maintainers. I deleted every config connection for netbox in our Foreman in the meantime and it works finally.

The new Version has been merged into foreman-packaging so the new Package foreman_netbox 2.0.0 should be available soon. We are also working on some dependecy issues but i should now be loaded correctly
