Description lbenedit 2021-08-23 11:36:52 UTC
Description of problem:
Unable to promote content view due to "NoMethodError: undefined method `get_status' for nil:NilClass" as there is no method for setting the same workaround as the UI.
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6038731

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Tested in 6.9

How reproducible:
Only in environments where the nil:NilClass happens.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run a playbook using the module `redhat.satellite.content_view_version`
```
    - name: Publish new content view version to lib and dev
      redhat.satellite.content_view_version:
        username: "{{ user }}"
        password: "{{ pw }}"
        server_url: "{{ url }}"
        content_view: "{{ view }}"
        organization: "{{ org }}"
        validate_certs: no
        description: "testing content view"
        lifecycle_environments:
          - Dev
      loop: "{{ views }}"
      loop_control:
        loop_var: view
```

Actual results:
"msg": "Task Promote content view 'Test'; organization 'Test'(xxxxxx) did not succeed. Task information: [\"undefined method `get_status' for nil:NilClass\"]",

Expected results:
Success

I honestly don't see us adding a workaround for this in the module, but could you try unsetting the "default location" of the user you're running this with?

Closing as a duplicate of bug 1957035, as the root cause appears to be the same.
