Description Corey Welton 2014-07-24 14:29:54 UTC

Description of problem:
When a user tries to register to a sat6 instance, pointing to a non-existent env/cv, an error is thrown that makes no sense to user.  I am not sure if this is a sub-man issue, sat, or both

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Satellite-6.0.4-RHEL-6-20140723.0
How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Try and register a client to your system, using an environment/cv combination that does not exist, i.e. 

subscription-manager register --username admin --password yK75VcevtxLyEnuZ --org Default_Organization --environment dev/mycv --auto-attach --force
2. view results


Actual results:

[root@qeblade6 ~]# subscription-manager register --username admin --password yK75VcevtxLyEnuZ --org Default_Organization --environment dev/mycv --auto-attach --force
'exceptions.ValueError' object has no attribute 'msg'



Expected results:

Something that makes more sense to user.

Comment 4 sthirugn@redhat.com 2014-07-28 14:17:28 UTC

The error message was caused by an other bug - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1123514

Using invalid env/cv shows a valid error message:

# subscription-manager register --username='admin' --password='changeme' --org='rhcorp' --environment='a/b' --autosubscribe
No such environment: a/b


# subscription-manager register --username='admin' --password='changeme' --org='rhcorp' --environment='DEV/cv1' --autosubscribe
