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 Marek Hulan 2019-02-08 17:00:16 UTC
Description of problem:

Satellite 6 requires variables to be listed in defaults/main.yml in order to import/display them in UI. Some of variables such as the one for setting the policy is not listed there and default is hardcoded in tasks/main.yml. After a discussion with pcahyna, it should be posible to extract all of them.

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

last released version, 1.0.0

How reproducible:

allways


Steps to Reproduce:
1. look at role directory
2.
3.

Actual results:

defaults directory is missing

Expected results:

all variables have entry in defaults/main.yml


Additional info:

in master branch, some of variables are already there

Comment 2 Pavel Cahyna 2019-02-08 17:05:45 UTC
The easy cases are there (in master), what is missing is selinux_state and selinux_policy, whose absence has a special meaning. It would be needed to let "null" have this special meaning instead and set the defaults to null.

Comment 6 Pavel Cahyna 2019-04-15 08:31:21 UTC
Do the values matter in any way, or is it enough for the variables to be listed? In some cases the values will be complex Jinja2 expressions, so trying to interpret them would be unlikely to be helpful.

Comment 7 Marek Hulan 2019-04-15 15:26:23 UTC
These values would be imported as default values. If users don't override them, they do not matter and defaults from ansible roles will be used. In other words, feel free to use whatever complicated expression you need, people may see "{{ whatever magic }}" as a default value in UI.
