JanH, I do not agree this is a bug. This behavior was introduced in SerializerHelper at the beginning of Spacewalk ... git show c43c7764d22ca8a78fd6f446b0892b6dec5e78a8:java/code/src/com/redhat/rhn/frontend/xmlrpc/serializer/util/SerializerHelper.java The fact null values are omitted from serialization process prevents the API calls to fail as xmlrpc cannot handle null values. If we would like to add it to documentation, we'd need to update all the calls that use add/genMember method of SerializerHelper (over 80 Serializers). I think this would only harm the current transparent apidoc. I do not want to do that. Closing as WONTFIX. I however fixed the typo ... 88f2c0e4 |
Description of problem: API call system.listVirtualGuests do not return all fields for guests which are not registered Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite 5.7.0 - spacewalk-java-2.3.8-96.el6sat.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check API docs on https://<fqdn>/rhn/apidoc/handlers/SystemHandler.jsp#listVirtualGuests 2. Take a host with one guest registered and another one not registered 3. Check Systems -> <host> -> Virtualization -> Details Guest System Status Current Memory vCPUs Base Software Channel system-1 localhost.localdomain Running 512.0 MB 1 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6 for 64-bit x86_64) system-2 Unregistered System Running 1024.0 MB 1 (none) 4. Run print client.system.listVirtualGuests(key, serverId) Actual results: [ {'guest_name': 'system-1', 'last_checkin': <DateTime '20150117T07:26:40' at 7f148f5323b0>, 'uuid': 'e336fbeb9da72c5ad0084baf7bb4edfa', 'name': 'localhost.localdomain', 'id': 1000010034}, {'guest_name': 'system-2', 'uuid': '6346b8cc1c6e7e172a1078cc8cf3f2ab', 'id': 1000010077} ] Expected results: Maybe some None values should be there for "name" and "last_checkin". Or maybe some note in documentation that these fields will not appear in 100% of cases. Additional info: Also there is a small typo in the docs text "guests for agiven" -> "guests for a given".
