Description Peter Ondrejka 2016-10-24 07:48:29 UTC

Description of problem:

Attempting to turn off timeouts by setting :request_timeout: -1 in .hammer/cli_config.yml leads to:

# hammer --csv host list 
To disable read timeouts, please set timeout to nil instead of -1
...

Which is ok, but setting :request_timeout: nil as requested leads to:

# hammer --csv host list 
Error: can't convert String into time interval

With :request_timeout: null 

# hammer --csv host list 
...
Works correctly

Expected results:
The user alert shown with :request_timeout: -1 should state "null" instead of "nill".

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/16775 has been resolved.

Comment 6 orabin 2017-08-30 08:47:14 UTC

Verified.
Version Tested: Satellite-6.3 Snap 13.

Steps to verify:
1. add :request_timeout: -1 in .hammer/cli.modules.d/foreman.yml
2. run hammer --csv host list


Results: the list was returned without any message about errors in request_timeout.
