Description Renaud Métrich 2021-03-22 12:15:19 UTC

Crash in Subscription Manager spoke when proxy is badly configured

Description of problem:

A customer trying to install RHV4.4-20210202.0 (based on RHEL8.3) cannot install using the graphical interface because he gets the following backtrace shortly after clicking on Register in Subscription Manager spoke:
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
Traceback (most recent call first):
  File "/tmp/updates/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/subscription.py", line 875, in _register
    source_type = source_proxy.Type
  File "/tmp/updates/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/subscription.py", line 476, in on_register_button_clicked
    self._register()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Type'

Local variables in innermost frame:
source_proxy: None 
self: SubscriptionSpoke
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

I can reproduce as well, by setting up a broken proxy URL in the NIC being used.
I'm however not exactly sure if the same scenario happens for the customer since we verified that his network configuration (and proxy) were valid.

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

33.16.3.26-1

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure the NIC and add a broken proxy PAC configuration "http://192.168.122.10/proxy.pac" (192.168.122.10 being not reachable)
2. Go to Subscription Manager spoke and enter login details
3. Click on Register button

Actual results:

Crash

Expected results:

No crash

Comment 1 Jan Stodola 2021-03-22 19:44:36 UTC 
It's not necessary to configure proxy, just boot RHV iso, enable network and try to register.

Also reproduced on RHEL-8.3 when using the liveimg kickstart command:

liveimg --url <URL>
Comment 8 Zdenek Veleba 2021-07-23 15:45:19 UTC 
Pre-verified with anaconda-33.16.5.3-1.el8 in RHEL-8.5.0-20210718.d.2
Comment 12 Jan Stodola 2021-08-02 15:30:17 UTC 
anaconda-33.16.5.3-1.el8 is present in RHEL-8.5.0-20210730.n.0, moving to VERIFIED.
