WARNING Unable to properly load .donut for payload plugins.stockpile.app.donut.donut_handler due to failed import data_svc.py:436

[mikefinlay]

Hi,
I just installed Caldera 5.3.0 in a RHEL 9.6 VM - not running docker. The app starts and I can successfully login; however I receive the following WARNING message upon startup:

WARNING Unable to properly load .donut for payload plugins.stockpile.app.donut.donut_handler due to failed import data_svc.py:436

Is this a known issue or something that can be corrected?

Thanks

It looks like the stockpile plugin hook is incorrectly referencing that donut_handler function. We'll set up a fix for that, thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Thanks Daniel. I appreciate your response. Mike

Hi @mikefinlay looks like my initial assessent was wrong. Can you try installing the pip requirements specific to the stockpile plugin? That should fix it for you:

pip install -r plugins/stockpile/requirements.txt

Hi Daniel, That worked. Thanks for your help. Mike
