Steps to Reproduce

I am encountering an issue with the netbox.netbox.lookup plugin while running playbooks in AWX. The error message indicates that the pynetbox module is not installed, even though pynetbox is installed and visible when running pip list. Interestingly, other NetBox-related modules, such as netbox.netbox.netbox_vm_interface, works without any issues.

I tried logging into the execution environment while the container was running and running python -c "import pynetbox" without errors. I also did a pip list to confirm pynetbox was installed.

First step of my playbook is to install pynetbox into the execution environment:

    - name: pip install pynetbox
      shell: pip install plugins/pynetbox-7.4.0-py3-none-any.whl
      register: raw_output
      delegate_to: localhost
      run_once: true

Playbook task that is failing:

    - name: "Query NetBox for all sites"
      debug:
        msg: >
          "Device {{ item.value.name }} (ID: {{ item.key }}) was
          manufactured by {{ item.value.device_type.manufacturer.name }}"
      loop: "{{ query('netbox.netbox.nb_lookup', 'devices', api_filter='role=firewall', api_endpoint=netbox_url, token=netbox_token)}}"

Playbook task that is working:

    - name: Create or update VM in Netbox
      netbox.netbox.netbox_vm_interface:
        netbox_token: '{{ NETBOX_TOKEN }}'
        netbox_url: '{{ NETBOX_API }}'
        data:
          virtual_machine: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
          name: "{{ item[0] }}"
        state: present
        validate_certs: False
      loop: "{{ interfaces_data }}"
      delegate_to: localhost

Expected Behavior

The netbox.netbox.lookup plugin should successfully detect the pynetbox module, and the playbook should execute without errors like the netbox.netbox.netbox_vm_interface module.

Observed Behavior

Task is failing with the following error:
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The pynetbox python module is required"}
