Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Pavel Moravec 2018-09-04 13:41:06 UTC
Description of problem:
When creating a new Host and specifying on Virtual Machine tab "Allocation(GB)" as empty, Host create fails with

NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

error. It is more user-unfriendly also due to the fact that the Allocation(GB) is purged when one clicks to "Size" button right from the value.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Sat 6.3.3
Sat 6.4 beta (checked it's also there)


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start creating a new Host
2. In Virtual Machine tab, click to "Size" button (or leave "Allocation(GB)" empty either way)
3. Fill all other parameters properly.
4. Submit the Host


Actual results:
Host create fails with "undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass"


Expected results:
Either no error (if the parameter can have empty value with some meaning), or provide some meaningfull error message before tryng to create the host (e.g. similar to leaving root password empty).

Relevant code:

112         def split_size_unit(text)
113           if text.kind_of? Integer
114             # if text is an integer, match will fail
115             size    = text
116             unit    = 'G'
117           else
118             matcher = text.match(/(\d+)(.+)/)
119             size    = matcher[1]
120             unit    = matcher[2]
121           end
122           [size, unit]
123         end

that simply does not count with empty value in text

Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/24852 from this bug

Comment 3 Bryan Kearney 2019-11-14 13:03:19 UTC
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/24852 has been resolved.

Comment 4 Radek Mynar 2020-06-26 16:59:30 UTC
VERIFIED with Satellite 6.8 SNAP 5.0

I followed steps from initial comment and I also deleted the text field manually as it keeps prefilled "0G" when switching 'None'/'Size' buttons. Host creation continued successfully when value was empty.
