Description Dylan Gross 2018-05-01 19:53:20 UTC 
Description of problem:

   When trying to perform bulk action "Manage Repository Sets" on Content Hosts, if a Content Host has never registered, it will fail and return an undefined method error:

   NoMethodError: undefined method `uuid' for nil:NilClass


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

   Red Hat Satellite 6.3.1

How reproducible:   Easily, always?


Steps to Reproduce:
1.   Create a Host: WebUI-> Hosts -> All Hosts -> Create Host - But do not actually build one yet or register that host.

2.   Go to WebUI -> Content Hosts and select a number of hosts, including the one just created (which should show as "Never registered" and "Never checked in"

3.   Select "Select Action" -> "Manage Repository Sets" and choose a Repository set and either "Override to Enabled" or "Override to disabled"

Actual results:

The task "Update Contennt Overrides to <content-host>" will fail with an error simply saying "undefined method `uuid' for nil:NilClass"


Expected results:

  The task should still fail, or give a warning, more gracefully with an explanation of the failure rather than the undefined method error.
