undefined method 'value' in 12-check_capsule_tar.rb when running satellite-installer
Last modified: 2018-02-07 13:48:34 EST
Description of problem: The fix for #1525544 tries to read non-existing values, leading to an error in the katello-installer: /usr/share/katello-installer-base/hooks/pre_validations/12-check_capsule_tar.rb:10:in `block (4 levels) in load': undefined method `value' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): katello-installer-base-3.0.0.98-1.el7sat.noarch.rpm How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. run satellite-installer --scenario satellite Actual results: [install-rhel-7] /usr/share/katello-installer-base/hooks/pre_validations/12-check_capsule_tar.rb:10:in `block (4 levels) in load': undefined method `value' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) [install-rhel-7] from /usr/share/gems/gems/kafo-0.7.6.1/lib/kafo/hooking.rb:34:in `instance_eval' [install-rhel-7] from /usr/share/gems/gems/kafo-0.7.6.1/lib/kafo/hooking.rb:34:in `block (4 levels) in load' [install-rhel-7] from /usr/share/gems/gems/kafo-0.7.6.1/lib/kafo/hook_context.rb:13:in `instance_exec' [install-rhel-7] from /usr/share/gems/gems/kafo-0.7.6.1/lib/kafo/hook_context.rb:13:in `execute' [install-rhel-7] from /usr/share/gems/gems/kafo-0.7.6.1/lib/kafo/hooking.rb:51:in `block in execute' [install-rhel-7] from /usr/share/gems/gems/kafo-0.7.6.1/lib/kafo/hooking.rb:49:in `each' [install-rhel-7] from /usr/share/gems/gems/kafo-0.7.6.1/lib/kafo/hooking.rb:49:in `execute' [install-rhel-7] from /usr/share/gems/gems/kafo-0.7.6.1/lib/kafo/kafo_configure.rb:125:in `execute' [install-rhel-7] from /usr/share/gems/gems/clamp-0.6.2/lib/clamp/command.rb:67:in `run' [install-rhel-7] from /usr/share/gems/gems/clamp-0.6.2/lib/clamp/command.rb:125:in `run' [install-rhel-7] from /usr/share/gems/gems/kafo-0.7.6.1/lib/kafo/kafo_configure.rb:148:in `run' [install-rhel-7] from /sbin/satellite-installer:12:in `<main>' Expected results: Installs OK Additional info: #1525544 is marked as fixed in 6.2.13, but the code seems to be missing as it only ships katello-installer-base-3.0.0.97-1.el7sat.noarch.rpm the intention behind pulling #1525544 into 6.2.z was to get the absolute path for the certs tar in the answers file, not to allow relative paths in the cli options, which 6.2 accepts anyways.
Verified in Satellite 6.2.14. At least 6 Satellite installations have completed successfully, on both RHEL 6 and 7, without any indication of this error. Further Capsule installations are also passing without issue.
