RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 2018-09-06 16:58:38 UTC
Description of problem:
On any container / atomic host, running "sosreport --batch" raises exception:

# sosreport --batch                                     
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/sosreport", line 19, in <module>
    main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sos/sosreport.py", line 1484, in main
    sos = SoSReport(args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sos/sosreport.py", line 377, in __init__
    self.opts.merge(self.preset.opts)
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'opts'

Note that "sosreport --batch" is the most common option of running a sosreport.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sos-3.6-5


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a container / atomic host with sos
2. sosreport --batch # optionally more cmdline options)


Actual results:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/sosreport", line 19, in <module>
    main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sos/sosreport.py", line 1484, in main
    sos = SoSReport(args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sos/sosreport.py", line 377, in __init__
    self.opts.merge(self.preset.opts)
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'opts'


Expected results:
No traceback

Comment 2 Jake Hunsaker 2018-09-06 18:42:07 UTC
This actually prevents _any_ invocation of sos, even a bare 'sosreport'.

Upstream PR opened to fix this: https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/1418
