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 Lukáš Hellebrandt 2019-09-17 14:44:31 UTC

Description of problem:
When creating a VMWare host through Hammer, I get an undefined method error. It is entirely possible that I'm doing something wrong but the error doesn't help me much. No traceback, foreman-tail attached.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Reproduced on Sat 6.6 snap 20.

How reproducible:
Deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run hammer host create command. I ran:
# hammer host create --compute-resource testvmware --lifecycle-environment Library --content-view "Default Organization View" --content-source "$(hostname)" --architecture x86_64 --location "Default Location" --organization "Default Organization" --name "lhellebr-hammer-thick-thick" --domain-id 1 --subnet-id 1 --root-password secretpassword --image vmware-image1 --operatingsystem "RedHat 7.7" --provision-method image --interface "compute_type=VirtualE1000,compute_network=dvportgroup-647,domain-id=1,subnet-id=1"

Actual results:
Could not create the host:
  Failed to create a compute testvmware (VMware) instance lhellebr-hammer-thick-thick.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

Expected results:
Host created successfully or some useful error.

Most likely compute attributes are not specified correctly, I totally agree the error message does not provide much insights. We should add some validation for bare minimum vm attributes.

Comment 6 Lukáš Hellebrandt 2019-09-18 13:01:48 UTC

This is not a regression from 6.5.
