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).

which did not check whether TERM is in env

Comment 3 Jess Calciano 2017-05-12 20:20:06 UTC
I've also recently run into this - any updates on a fix or an official workaround?

It's definitely a problem in Jenkins, like the original description states. To manually reproduce the problem:
1. Run targetcli from a remote host:
   # ssh user@host 'targetcli ls'

2. The Python KeyError and traceback above appears.

Comment 4 michal novacek 2017-05-18 08:37:48 UTC
This breaks HA resource-agents (iSCSITarget and iSCSILogicalUnit) which are using targetcli.

This needs to be fixed in 7.4 timeframe.

Comment 8 Martin Hoyer 2017-06-09 13:53:30 UTC
Reproducible with python-configshell-1.1.fb23-1.el7
Working well with python-configshell-1.1.fb23-2.el7
Regression tests did not found any new issue.
