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.

How reproducible:100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Attempt to read the payload object from within the addons
2.
3.

Actual results:
unable to read the install payload from any anacoda addon

Expected results:
able to read the install payload from any anacoda addon

PR: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/571

The patch is pushed now.
You can test the functionality with the following addon 

https://github.com/jkonecny12/hello-world-anaconda-addon/tree/master-payload-testing

This addon only do a simple use of the payload class but you can of course modify it as you want.

I've reproduced this bug on RHEL-7.2 GA with anaconda-21.48.22.56-1.el7, verified on RHEL-7.3-20160825.1 with anaconda-21.48.22.86-1.el7.

Hi,

Kdump addon does not access the payload, so leave it as is without update the addon is safe? If yes I would only update it when have to..

Thanks
Dave

Hello Dave,

You are now using deprecated API so I would like to see Kdump addon updated. However, the new code is backward compatible and it just prints warning about using deprecated function signature.

I don't think we will remove this deprecated API any time soon so it should work properly for now.

Ok, then I cloned a RHEL7.4 bug 1394153 for kdump addon.

Thanks a lot!
