Description Pavel Moravec 2014-11-14 12:05:17 UTC 
Description of problem:
Trying to synchronize (internal) capsule, command:

hammer capsule content synchronize --id 1

fails. Despite id 1 works fine for other "hammer capsule" subcommands:

[root@pmoravec-rhel7-sat6 ~]# hammer  -u admin -p <password> capsule list
---|-------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------
ID | NAME                                      | URL

---|-------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------
[root@pmoravec-rhel7-sat6 ~]# hammer  -u admin -p <password> capsule info --id 1
Id:         1
Name:       pmoravec-rhel7-sat6.example.com
URL:        https://pmoravec-rhel7-sat6.example.com:9090
Features:   Puppet, Puppet CA, Pulp

[root@pmoravec-rhel7-sat6 ~]# 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.0.6


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Even on freshly installed Sat6, check capsule with id 1 exists (and is the internal one, usually):
hammer  -u admin -p <password> capsule info --id 1

2. Try to sync this capsule:
hammer  -u admin -p <password> capsule content synchronize --id 1


Actual results:
2. fails with:
Could not synchronize capsule content:
  Couldn't find SmartProxy with id=1 [WHERE "features"."name" IN ('Pulp Node')]


Expected results:
2. to successfully sync the capsule.


Additional info:
If _internal_ capsule within Sat6 server can't be synchronized this way, then please update installation manual having explicit command:

"# hammer capsule content synchronize --id 1 --environment-id 1"

(just before Section 5.5)
Comment 1 Pavel Moravec 2014-11-14 12:08:18 UTC 
Btw expected workaround in using --name instead of --id does _not_ work:

# hammer  -u admin -p <password> capsule content synchronize --name pmoravec-sat6.example.com
Could not synchronize capsule content:
  Error: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
#
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2014-11-14 12:13:44 UTC 
Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
Comment 4 Pavel Moravec 2014-11-14 12:28:59 UTC 
Running hammer in debug mode, it apparently makes proper REST API method:

[ INFO 2014-11-14 13:13:54 API] POST /katello/api/capsules/1/content/sync
[DEBUG 2014-11-14 13:13:54 API] Params: {}
[DEBUG 2014-11-14 13:13:54 API] Headers: {}
[ERROR 2014-11-14 13:13:54 API] 404 Resource Not Found

That corresponds to API guide, Section "12.5. Synchronize Content to Capsule".
Comment 5 Pavel Moravec 2014-11-14 13:19:32 UTC 
After discussing with akrzos, this is "almost" expected behaviour. Capsule sync can be done only for _external_ capsules while id 1 has the internal one (that can by synced via "hammer repository synchronize" command).

But the error when invoking:

POST /katello/api/capsules/1/content/sync

is confusing, as capsule with id 1 exists.

Please provide some better error string in this case.

*** Bug 1296843 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 9 Brad Buckingham 2016-04-28 17:29:57 UTC 
As mentioned in comment 5, performing a 'capsule content synchronize' is not supported for the 'default'/'internal' capsule that is part of the Satellite server.

It looks like a better error is being displayed to the user with Satellite 6.2 Beta Snap 9:

hammer> capsule content synchronize --id 1
Could not synchronize capsule content:
  This request may only be performed on a Capsule that has the Pulp Node feature.

however, there is still an issue with the support for --name:

hammer> capsule content synchronize --name sat-test-rhel7.example.com
Could not synchronize capsule content:
  Error: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

For this BZ, I will address the second the above nil:NilClass error.
