Created attachment 1098826 [details] stack_trace.txt Description of problem: Error message generated as response to malformed REST API request suggests some "description". However the response doesn't contain any. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.0 master, commit 5e447e0 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. POST /ovirt-engine/api/vmpools HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:8080 Authorization: Basic YWRtaW5AaW50ZXJuYWw6YQ== Content-Type: application/xml <vmpool> <name>pool1</name> </vmpool> Actual results: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <usage_message> <message>Request syntactically incorrect. See the description below for the correct usage:</message> </usage_message> and error in engine log, see attachement Expected results: Some meaningful, descriptive error message Additional info:
Note that this is more severe than just not showing the description, what actually happens is that the RSDL document is generated incorrectly, almost empty. The proposed patch fixes the generation of the RSDL, and then the description is shown correctly.
Hi Juan, I can still reproduce the bug on current 4.0 master (commit 904ab61) using steps to reproduce in comment 0. Is it supposed to be fixed or not yet?
The original issue was fixed. But then the introduction of the support for multiple versions introduced a new regression, which has the same effect. The following patch fixes it: restapi: Ignore version prefix in "UsageFinder" https://gerrit.ovirt.org/53957
Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.
