Description Corey Welton 2014-03-28 21:06:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
When a user enters a long description for a content view (presumably more than 255 characters?), subsequent attempts to promote error out.  This does not seem to be readily apparent in UI except for a tiny red smidge in the progress bar and clicking through to see that "something" caused an error.  Traceback in candlepin.log


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite-6.0.3-RHEL-6-20140328.1

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create  view called "this is a test" with the following description:

this is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a test
2.  Noting that view is created with no failure, add content to view and attempt to promote it.
3.  View results

Actual results:
An incomplete red status bar; clicking through "Publishing and promoting to 1 environment." notes an error but doesn't really provide details.


Expected results:
Validation in the UI to keep user from creating a content view longer than allowable db field length.


Additional info:
See forthcoming example from candlepin.log

Note: I referred to the above file twice as "candlepin.log".  Rather, it is the error log.

Comment 6 Corey Welton 2014-05-05 19:21:42 UTC 
Verified in Satellite/Satellite-6.0.3-RHEL-6-20140430.4, UI tells user that descriptions > 255char are disallowed.

This was delivered with 6.0.3, which is the Satellite 6 Beta.
