RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 of problem:

src/subscription_manager/plugins.py's run() methods currently catch any
exceptions from within the plugin code, log it, and then reraise it.

Since the subman code is embedded within yum, initial-setup, anaconda and other tools, it should not raise unexpected exceptions into those apps.

options:
1) Catch and log them, then drop them.
2) Catch and log them, but instead of raising the origin exception again, raise a subscription-manager plugin api specific Exception, that could be more easily handled by plugins for other apps (plugins/productid.py for ex).

deferring to rhel-7.3.0 due to schedule and severity

For dnf Documentation on exceptions & logging can be found at http://dnf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api_common.html & http://dnf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api_exceptions.html

For yum, if a fatal exception occurs then a PluginYumExit() exception should be raised.  Yum warnings are done either via. the plugin API conduit.info() etc. … or by just getting the yum base object and using base.logger etc.
