Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The APB tooling was not looking in the `openshift-ansible-service-broker` namespace for the broker route and the --broker flag misbehaved with improper suffixes. Consequence: Commands like `apb list` did not behave as expected. Fix: Backported some newer fixes to 3.7 so that the tooling automatically tries to find the correct resources even if the user does not provide all of the information. Result: `apb list` should just work, --broker flag not even needed.

Description daniel 2018-03-11 20:05:46 UTC
Description of problem:
When using apb from rhel-7-server-ose-3.7-rpms and running apb list --broker <broker URL>
I do get:
Error: Attempt to list APBs in the broker returned status: 404
Unable to list APBs in Ansible Service Broker.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install OCP 3.7 with APB deployed
2. # yum install apb -y 
3. # apb list --broker https://asb-1338-openshift-ansible-service-broker.apps.example.com

Actual results:
Error: Attempt to list APBs in the broker returned status: 404
Unable to list APBs in Ansible Service Broker.

Expected results:
shows list from ansible service broker 

Additional info:

trying one one master with apb from ose-3.7 repo:

note: even no need to set --broker

Comment 1 Dylan Murray 2018-03-14 13:12:03 UTC
This issue appears to be due to the fact that the current oc user's permissions is causing the construction of the broker request to fail. At the very least we can patch a fix for 3.7 to print a proper error.

Comment 2 John Matthews 2018-03-14 20:29:54 UTC
Plan for 3.7.z is to print the correct error for this case.
3.9 is already doing this.

Comment 3 Jian Zhang 2018-03-15 07:42:39 UTC
Daniel,

I confirm the `apb list --broker` is worked on the OCP 3.7 cluster for the 1.0.4 version. The usage is that you should add the "ansible-service-broker" strings in the tail of the broker URL, like below:

[root@localhost hello-world-apb]# apb list --broker https://asb-1338-openshift-ansible-service-broker.apps.0314-p5u.qe.rhcloud.com/ansible-service-broker
ID                                NAME                           DESCRIPTION

d5915e05b253df421efe6e41fb6a66ba  rh-postgresql-apb              SCL PostgreSQL apb implementation    

[root@localhost hello-world-apb]# rpm -qa | grep apb
apb-1.0.4-1.el7.noarch

For the 1.1.15 version, the users no longer need to add the "ansible-service-broker" strings in the broker URL.

So, no matter the 1.0.4 or the 1.1.15 version, both of them are worked well on the OCP 3.7 cluster.

Comment 4 Zhang Cheng 2018-03-15 07:57:12 UTC
QE tested both in ocp3.7 + apb 1.0.4 and ocp3.7 + apb 1.1.15, apb list function work well.

There are some usage difference in apb 1.0.4(ocp3.7 released version) and apb 1.1.15:
For apb 1.0.4(for ocp3.7):
You have to add the "ansible-service-broker" strings at the end of broker url, and apb list fail without "--broker" option by expected.

For apb 1.1.15(for ocp3.9) :
You don't need to add "ansible-service-broker" strings at the end of broker url(in another work, should be fine with or without string), and apb list both fine with or without "--broker" option.

Certainly, it is better if developer can patch a fix for 3.7 to print a proper error when user have a wrong usage.

--> expected as user access rights not set



my summary:
- abp from official repos should have improved error message making it easier for users to understand why it is failing

- cosmetig thing:
  - apb from ocp repo :  --broker https://asb-1338-openshift-ansible-service-broker.apps.example.com/ansible-service-broker/  (trailing /) works while it does not for the one from epel, again cosmetic, but at least for me hard to spot ;)

- probably we should improve documentation around this as looking at 
  - https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.7/apb_devel/cli_tooling.html#apb-devel-cli-overview
    as well as 
  - https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.7/apb_devel/writing/getting_started.html#apb-devel-writing-gs-dev-env
  do not mention that --broker is required

I have backported some fixes so that the --broker flag will work as expected without providing the required suffix.

This should fix the 404 errors that Daniel has seen.
