Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 jcallaha 2015-08-14 19:36:09 UTC
Description of problem:
Hammer returns inconsistent capitalization in its json output. For example, a user trying to parse the id's in an output may have to handle 'ID', 'Id', and 'id'.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.1 GA

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run one of the two commands detailed in Additional Info, or your own choice.
2. run at least one more command
3. Check consistency for returned keys

Actual results:
keys are inconsistently capitalized

Expected results:
keys are inconsistently capitalized. I prefer lowercase for ease

Comment 1 jcallaha 2015-08-19 15:03:59 UTC
Additionally, following the same naming conventions used in the API would be a smart choice. Since most of the JSON output is going to be parsed by machines, it makes sense to have our customers expect the same output between API and CLI.

Comment 3 Adam Ruzicka 2016-10-19 11:45:28 UTC
Created redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/17010 from this bug

Comment 4 Bryan Kearney 2017-03-06 23:18:20 UTC
An upstream issue for this has been created. When this is fixed, the next version of Satellite will carry the fix. We will no longer track this downstream.
