Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Corey Welton 2014-03-28 21:06:57 UTC
Description of problem:
When a user enters a long description for a content view (presumably more than 255 characters?), subsequent attempts to promote error out.  This does not seem to be readily apparent in UI except for a tiny red smidge in the progress bar and clicking through to see that "something" caused an error.  Traceback in candlepin.log


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite-6.0.3-RHEL-6-20140328.1

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create  view called "this is a test" with the following description:

this is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a testthis is a test
2.  Noting that view is created with no failure, add content to view and attempt to promote it.
3.  View results

Actual results:
An incomplete red status bar; clicking through "Publishing and promoting to 1 environment." notes an error but doesn't really provide details.


Expected results:
Validation in the UI to keep user from creating a content view longer than allowable db field length.


Additional info:
See forthcoming example from candlepin.log

Note: I referred to the above file twice as "candlepin.log".  Rather, it is the error log.

Comment 6 Corey Welton 2014-05-05 19:21:42 UTC
Verified in Satellite/Satellite-6.0.3-RHEL-6-20140430.4, UI tells user that descriptions > 255char are disallowed.

Comment 7 Bryan Kearney 2014-07-02 14:04:41 UTC
This was delivered with 6.0.3, which is the Satellite 6 Beta.
