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.

Hey,

Satellite 6.4 upgrade process automatically tries to find macros which has been deprecated and convert them into new syntax for all templates, parameters and lookup keys and values.

  @host.params["parameter1"] -> host_param("parameter1")
  @host.param_true?("parameter1") -> host_param_true?("parameter1")
  @host.param_false?("parameter1") -> host_param_false?("parameter1")

The process uses simple text replacement which will not work in all cases, e.g. when host is assigned to a variable:

  myhost = @host
  myhost.params["wont_work"]

After upgrade to 6.4 please verify all templates, parameters and lookup keys and values for the old-syntax and replace manually. The error that can be thrown for old syntax is:

  undefined method '#params' for Host::Managed::Jail

Changing provisioning template to the new syntax helps to avoid the error.

Thanks for raising this bug!
