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 John Mitsch 2019-05-01 13:22:11 UTC 
Description of problem:
When you generate a report template, it doesn't show any CSV headers (name, label, severity, etc...) on the top of the file if no results are found. This is just a blank file and is confusing as it makes one think the file wasn't generated correctly, also it may break automation that users build around this.

We should keep the headers on the file even if its blank

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.5.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Navigate to Report Templates
2.Click "Generate" for applicable errata and search with a host that has no errata applicable (name = myhost).
3.view blank report

Actual results:
report is blank

Expected results:
report has headers

Comment 4 Marek Hulan 2019-12-17 10:12:03 UTC 
There's the new helper that can be used in reports to define headers in Foreman 1.24. All we need to do is to update all report templates, so it has line like this

<%- report_headers "name", "label", "severity" -%>

That will make sure the report will print headers even if no data was gathered.

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/28637 has been resolved.
Comment 9 Lukáš Hellebrandt 2020-06-03 14:27:46 UTC 
Verified with Sat 6.8 snap 2.1.

1. Generate "Host - Applicable errata" report without any arguments
2. Generate it with filter for a host without any applicable errata

=> The first one contains correct data, the second one contains an empty dataset with the same headers as the first one.

Note that "Applied errata" template is an old version and this bug has been fixed in new versions of reports, e.g. "Host - Applicable errata". Whether this is correct or not is a different issue.
