Description Simon Reber 2018-03-27 12:02:59 UTC 
Description of problem:

`hammer host list --thin` does no longer work as `--thin` option was removed from `hammer` in Red Hat Satellite 6.3 (as per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1503586).

This option is heavily used and required by customers, to generate fast list of hosts in case not all details are required.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1503586#c7 for details

The API call `thin` is still there and works.

As this was working in Red Hat Satellite 6.2 (and because it's available via API) we are requesting to have this back.

Also, when checking https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1503586 it's odd that `--thin` was removed as actually `--include` was questioned.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

 - tfm-rubygem-hammer_cli-0.11.0.1-1.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible:

 - Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. [root@satellite63 ~]# rpm -q satellite
   satellite-6.3.0.1-1.el7sat.noarch
   [root@satellite63 ~]# hammer -u admin -p <pwd> host list --help | grep thin
   [root@satellite63 ~]#

2. [root@dhcp-144-209 ~]# rpm -q satellite
   satellite-6.2.14-4.0.el7sat.noarch
   [root@dhcp-144-209 ~]# hammer -u admin -p <pwd> host list --help | grep thin
    --thin THIN                       Only list ID and name of hosts
   [root@dhcp-144-209 ~]#

Actual results:

[root@satellite63 ~]# hammer -u admin -p <pwd> host list --help | grep thin
[root@satellite63 ~]#

Expected results:

[root@dhcp-144-209 ~]# hammer -u admin -p <pwd> host list --help | grep thin
--thin THIN                       Only list ID and name of hosts

Based upon https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1503586#c7, it appears that --thin was included in earlier 6.3 builds.

Tomas, do you know if this may have been purposely removed?
Comment 4 Tomas Strachota 2018-04-03 07:41:27 UTC 
I went through the BZ you're mentioning and it seems that --thin was removed based on inaccurate interpretation of the BZ. The first comment mentions that --include and --thin has no effect and there fore it should be removed. One of the later comments showed that --thin has actually significant performance impact but leaves some of the table columns blank.

I believe that the correct fix is:
- remove --include from host/hostgroup list (already done)
- keep --thin for host list (needs to be added back)
- extra points for hiding fields other than 'id' and 'name' when --thin is passed

Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/25349 from this bug
Comment 21 Peter Ondrejka 2018-11-14 08:56:31 UTC 
Verified on Sat 6.5 snap 5, I find it a bit annoying you have to add boolean parameter to it (as if someone ever used '--thin no'), but since it was already used and loved as it was, it's probably better to keep the form intact
