Error redirect in bulk-editing under HTMX navigation results in a blank page

[bctiemann]

Deployment Type

NetBox Cloud

NetBox Version

v4.1.0

Python Version

3.10

Steps to Reproduce

1. Ensure HTMX navigation is enabled
2. Select a Device with multiple Interfaces
3. Select the Interfaces tab
4. Don't select any interfaces, but click "Edit Selected"

Expected Behavior

Page should remain on the Interfaces object list, and a toast should appear saying "No interfaces were selected" as occurs under non-HTMX navigation.

Observed Behavior

The page is replaced with a blank pane, and no toast appears.

This is because BulkEditView is encountering an error and issuing a redirect to the get_return_url, but because it's happening in an HTMX container the browser doesn't render it properly at the top level.

netbox/netbox/netbox/views/generic/bulk_views.py

Line 701 in 485d3ae

return redirect(self.get_return_url(request))

Error conditions like this need to be handled in a different way under HTMX.
