Description of problem: the config validation for yum_importer.json requires that proxy_host be set if proxy_port is defined. nectar however doesn't use proxy_host, it uses proxy_url instead. The validation therefore requires an extra, unused config parameter to be specified. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6-beta1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit yum_importer.json, define proxy_url and proxy_port 2. Reload httpd 3. Run any pulp-admin command, e.g. pulp-admin rpm repo list Actual results: The server indicated one or more values were incorrect. The server provided the following error message: Configuration errors: The configuration parameter <proxy_host> is required when any of the following other parameters are defined: proxy_password, proxy_port, proxy_username. More information can be found in the client log file ~/.pulp/admin.log. The requested action is not completed because of this error. Expected results: The validator should require proxy_url be defined, not proxy_host. Additional info: If one follows the advise of the validator and defines proxy_host and proxy_port only then rpm sync operations fail due to a string manipulation error: pulp: nectar.downloaders.threaded:ERROR: (20615-56256) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/nectar/downloaders/threaded.py", line 342, in _add_proxy pulp: nectar.downloaders.threaded:ERROR: (20615-56256) url = ':'.join((host, str(config.proxy_port))) pulp: nectar.downloaders.threaded:ERROR: (20615-56256) TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, NoneType found I've filed this under rpm-support as that's where I've run into the bug but given the validator is in pulp core I suspect this will affect multiple features. I'm not familiar enough with the codebase to pick a more appropriate product, please feel free to update as needed.
