Description Kedar Bidarkar 2014-07-28 10:24:52 UTC
Description of problem:

subnet names throw PGError when char limit is greater than 238.

PGError: ERROR: value too long for type character varying(255) : INSERT INTO "audits" ("action", "associated_id", "associated_name", "associated_type", "auditable_id", "auditable_name", "auditable_type", "audited_changes", "comment", "created_at", "remote_address", "user_id", "user_type", "username", "version") VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9, $10, $11, $12, $13, $14, $15) RETURNING "id"



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sat6-GA-snap2

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:

currently subnet name accepts only 238 chars only. 
anything above 238 chars throws error.

Expected results:

We need both the below fixes for the subnet.

a) subnet char should accept upto 255 chars
b) subnet's name field should handle the char limit issues and report "more than 255 chars is not allowed", instead of the UI throwing the PGError.

I think we're getting the picture.  These BZs are causing a lot of work and overhead.  Please use the existing top level bug #1120271 in future.

Comment 3 orabin 2014-08-05 15:39:31 UTC
see 1120199

Comment 5 Sachin Ghai 2014-08-18 06:21:18 UTC
In sat6 GA snap5, I can create a subnet with more than 255 characters in name. However I didn't see issue related to PGError. UI successfully create a subnet with any length of name.

We should add a validation here if name increases 255 char, UI should raise an error message. So moving it back to assigned state.

Comment 7 Dominic Cleal 2014-08-18 08:05:29 UTC
If the subnet is created successfully with that name, it's not a bug.  Lack of errors is a good thing.

Comment 8 Sachin Ghai 2014-08-18 14:34:24 UTC
@Dominic: the behaviour should be consistent across the UI and with other entities too.

On creating subnet with more than 255 char in name, UI should throw validation error like: "is too long (maximum is 255 characters)"

It is also part of expected result.
