Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1250922
PUT /api/compute_resources/:id returns an incomplete set of attributes
Last modified: 2017-01-11 14:36:01 EST
Description of problem: There are few compute resource fields that are not returned when person try to update existing entity: * provider * organization * location Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sat 6.1.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Issue HTTP PUT request to https://sat.example.com/api/compute_resources/:id 2. Capture the response. Examine the JSON payload and discover that several attributes are not mentioned. Actual results: See "Description of problem" section. Expected results: See "Description of problem" section. Additional info:
this seems to be by design, and unrelated to compute resources. in Foreman's API, all create/update actions use the "process_response" method which simply runs #to_json on the relevant object and returns it. Generally, if one wishes to see all the object's attributes, they should use the show API call. create/update actions should actually just return a status, not the object's attributes, which are actually unimportant (the response code tells the user of the status, everything else is unimportant in my opinion)
This is an older bug which I do not envision being fixed in the near term. I am closing this out. If you believe doing so is an issue, please feel free to re-open and provide additional business information. Thank you.
