Description Ian Lawson 2018-07-20 09:20:39 UTC
Description of problem:

Choosing one of the standard JBoss EAP/JWS templates and then changing the git repo address, then removing (wiping) the git reference and context directory (i.e. setting the field to empty) does *not* alter the default fields. This means when the build starts it has not removed the git reference and context directory, causing an instant build (pull) fail. This is very misleading from a UI perspective.


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

OCP 3.9.31


How reproducible:

Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add to project
2. Select an example EAP template (i.e. 7.1 without https)
3. Change the git repo (i.e. https://github.com/utherp0/os-rest-comntainerview
4. Wipe the 'context directory' and 'git reference' input fields
5. Click Next to start the build

Actual results:

Build instantly fails due to the inherited 'context directory' and 'git reference' being added to the buildconfig even though the fields were wiped on the input page


Expected results:

Empty fields in the input page should result in no information for 'context directory' and 'git reference' being added to the buildconfig

Additional info:

Do you have service catalog and template service broker installed?

I'm not seeing this behavior through the normal template flow.

Comment 2 Samuel Padgett 2018-07-23 11:45:58 UTC
Created attachment 1469925 [details]
Processed template request clears fields

I also checked the build config that was created, and it didn't have the context dir or git ref set.

Comment 3 Samuel Padgett 2018-07-23 12:06:39 UTC
I was able to reproduce against template service broker. The parameters the UI creates is:

```json
{"APPLICATION_NAME":"eap-app","AUTO_DEPLOY_EXPLODED":"false","IMAGE_STREAM_NAMESPACE":"openshift","MAVEN_ARGS_APPEND":"-Dcom.redhat.xpaas.repo.jbossorg","MEMORY_LIMIT":"1Gi","SOURCE_REPOSITORY_URL":"https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-eap-quickstarts"}
```

Note that we cannot set these fields explicitly to "" because it breaks generated values. (Values are not generated when a parameter is explicitly set to "".) We had to remove these fields from the parameters JSON.

See discussion in: https://github.com/openshift/origin/issues/14445

And also the logic here:

https://github.com/openshift/origin-web-catalog/blob/e8edb4beebd5b82a4cf41b3ee7baec6e53240b7e/src/components/order-service/order-service.controller.ts#L442-L454

I don't believe there is a fix we can make only in the UI, so this needs to be addressed in the template service broker itself.

Comment 4 Ian Lawson 2018-07-23 12:20:11 UTC
Would it make sense from a UI perspective to default the parameters (webpage side) to 'master' and '/' (i.e. -p SOURCE_REPOSITORY_REF="master" -p CONTEXT_DIR="/")?

These would work by default.....

Comment 6 Veer Muchandi 2018-10-01 13:03:28 UTC
Is anyone fixing this issue whether on template service broker or in the UI? It keeps failing during our workshops and makes us look bad.

Comment 7 John Matthews 2018-10-04 14:01:55 UTC
Veer we have not worked this issue yet.

I'll align to 4.0.0 and we will investigate next sprint, at present I'm not sure what the proper fix should be.

Comment 9 jkim 2018-10-29 02:41:53 UTC
This bug requires a UI change.

Comment 15 Zihan Tang 2019-02-27 03:07:51 UTC
In v4.0, the UI API is different from v3.9.
In this API: api/kubernetes/api/v1/namespaces/.../secrets  the parameters can be successfully post.
step: 
1. select 'eap' template , click 'create instance'
2. Change the git repo to https://github.com/utherp0/os-rest-containerview
4. Wipe the 'context directory' and 'git reference' input fields, then create.
I catch the parameters are post and created successfully.

"{"ARTIFACT_DIR":"","GENERIC_WEBHOOK_SECRET":"","IMAGE_STREAM_NAMESPACE":"openshift","JGROUPS_CLUSTER_PASSWORD":"","SOURCE_REPOSITORY_REF":"","MAVEN_MIRROR_URL":"","MAVEN_ARGS_APPEND":"-Dcom.redhat.xpaas.repo.jbossorg","AUTO_DEPLOY_EXPLODED":"false","HOSTNAME_HTTP":"","GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET":"","APPLICATION_NAME":"eap-app","MQ_CLUSTER_PASSWORD":"","MQ_QUEUES":"","CONTEXT_DIR":"","MEMORY_LIMIT":"1Gi","SOURCE_REPOSITORY_URL":"https://github.com/utherp0/os-rest-containerview","MQ_TOPICS":""}
