Fixes #1228.

Problem

A DHCP lease without a mac-address made the MikroTik scanner call .lower() on None before checking the lease status. Because the exception handler wraps the whole lease loop, one disabled or waiting lease stopped the scan and prevented later bound devices from being reported.

Fix

Treat the lease MAC as optional, and only normalize and add leases that are both bound and have a MAC address. A regression test covers waiting and bound MAC-less leases between valid bound leases.

User impact

MikroTik scans continue past leases without MAC addresses, so later bound devices are still discovered.

Verification

  • python -m pytest test/plugins/test_mikrotik_scan.py -q — 1 passed
  • uvx ruff check server/plugins/mikrotik_scan/mikrotik.py test/plugins/test_mikrotik_scan.py — all checks passed
  • Full Docker test suite — comprehensive test job passed in 3m56s

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The MikroTik scanner skips bound DHCP leases without MAC addresses and normalizes valid MAC addresses before creating entries. Isolated tests verify that MAC-less leases do not stop processing later valid leases.

Changes

MikroTik lease processing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lease filtering and MAC normalization
server/plugins/mikrotik_scan/mikrotik.py
The scanner imports normalize_mac, retains raw MAC values for logging, and processes leases only when status is "bound" and a MAC address is present.
Lease processing validation
test/plugins/test_mikrotik_scan.py
Isolated tests stub scanner dependencies, create lease fixtures, and verify that MAC-less leases do not prevent later valid leases from being added.

- Around line 66-83: Update the get_entries test to patch mikrotik.normalize_mac
with distinct sentinel return values, assert it is called for each eligible
lease MAC, and verify plugin_objects.add_object uses those sentinels as
primaryId values instead of raw MAC addresses.
- Around line 13-18: Update the stub helper and its cleanup logic to preserve
any pre-existing sys.modules entry before overwriting it, then restore that
entry in a finally block; only remove module names that had no prior entry.
Ensure this applies to all modules stubbed during test collection, including the
setup around the helper’s uses.

- Around line 71-73: Update the _lease fixture for 192.168.1.5 in the Mikrotik
scan regression test to use status="bound" while retaining its missing MAC
address, so get_entries exercises the bound MAC-less lease branch. Add a
separate disabled-lease fixture only if needed to preserve coverage for that
status.
