Description wclark 2019-03-11 16:20:54 UTC
Description of problem:

When a child Host Group is inheriting Content Source, Content View, and Lifecycle Environment from a parent Host Group, modifying or clearing these values on the parent Host Group fails due to 'unable to flatten recursive array'

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

As of this time we have reproduced it on 6.4.1 and 6.4.2

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Created a hostgroup 'Base' and defined all details on the 'Host Group' tab, 'Network', and 'Operating Systems' tab.

2. Created a second hostgroup 'Child' and set it to have 'Base' as its parent. Then it inherits the above configurations.

3. On the 'Child' hostgroup, reset the details on the Operating Systems tab to be the same as 'Base' but without inheriting them.

4. On the 'Base' hostgroup, tried to clear the Content Source, Content View, and Lifecycle Environment. Submitting the change reproduces the error 'unable to flatten recursive array'.

Actual results:

'unable to flatten recursive array'.

Expected results:

The exception should be handled to point the user towards the child which is causing the conflict

Comment 6 wclark 2019-03-28 17:48:32 UTC
Added this line

    def run_validations!
      _run_validate_callbacks
      logger.info errors.inspect
      errors.empty?
    end


Now I can see the error clearly in the logs:

2019-03-28T13:39:38 [I|app|6b90d] #<ActiveModel::Errors:0x00007ff2dd253f50 @base=#<Hostgroup id: 7, name: "Parent2", created_at: "2019-03-28 17:31:09", updated_at: "2019-03-28 17:31:09", environment_id: nil, operatingsystem_id: 1, architecture_id: 1, medium_id: nil, ptable_id: nil, root_pass: "", puppet_ca_proxy_id: nil, use_image: nil, image_file: nil, ancestry: nil, vm_defaults: nil, subnet_id: nil, domain_id: nil, puppet_proxy_id: nil, title: "Parent2", realm_id: nil, compute_profile_id: nil, content_source_id: nil, grub_pass: "", content_view_id: 2, lifecycle_environment_id: 3, lookup_value_matcher: "hostgroup=Parent2", kickstart_repository_id: 58, subnet6_id: nil, pxe_loader: "PXELinux BIOS", description: "", compute_resource_id: nil, openscap_proxy_id: nil>, @messages={:name=>[], :base=>["Please select a content source before assigning a kickstart repository", [...]]}, @details={:base=>[{:error=>"Please select a content source before assigning a kickstart repository"}, {:error=>["Please select a content source before assigning a kickstart repository", [...]]}]}>


In my opinion the fix would be displaying on the GUI, since this was the needed information to move forward:

"Please select a content source before assigning a kickstart repository"

Instead of:

"ArgumentError: tried to flatten recursive array"

In the file /opt/theforeman/tfm-ror51/root/usr/share/gems/gems/activemodel-5.1.6/lib/active_model/errors.rb

After changing

174     def size
175       values.flatten.size
176     end
177     alias :count :size

to

174     def size
175       values.flatten(1).size            // only flattening one level
176     end
177     alias :count :size

I instead get the error

It seems unintended that `errors` can be a recursive array at all
