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 Alois Mahdal 2016-09-21 20:50:15 UTC
Description of problem
======================

If an upgrade path module calls preupg.script_api.deploy_hook() but fails to provide mandatory arguments, the module will raise uncaught IndexError exception.  This is due to incorrect parsing of arguments
(`if arg[0] == "":`...)


Version-Release number of selected component
============================================

preupgrade-assistant-2.1.10-1.el6


How reproducible
================

Always


Steps to Reproduce
==================

 1. Have a Python upgrade path module call deploy_hook() without one or both
    mandatory arguments
 2. Observe HTML report or XML node


Actual results
==============

Traceback


Expected results
================

Useful error is logged


Additional info
===============

Comment 4 Alois Mahdal 2016-10-07 03:56:47 UTC
Tested with preupgrade-assistant-2.1.10-5.el6.  All deploy_hook() (Bash and Python) cases now pass.
