Description Julio Entrena Perez 2020-03-19 15:05:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
It's not possible to provide a description when creating or updating custom repositories via hammer 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tfm-rubygem-hammer_cli-0.17.1-2.el7sat

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a custom product
2. Try creating a custom repository using hammer
3.

Actual results:
# hammer repository create --name "Repository 1" --description "Description of Repository 1"
Could not create the repository:
  Error: Unrecognised option '--description'.
  
  See: 'hammer repository create --help'.

# hammer repository create --help | grep desc
# 

# hammer repository update --help | grep desc
#

Expected results:
Description can be provided when creating and updating custom repositories via hammer.
Descriptions are accepted via web ui

Moving this to Repositories component since the bug is not actually is a hammer bug, but rather Katello API is missing description parameter for repositories creation via API.
Comment 4 Julio Entrena Perez 2020-03-19 16:05:36 UTC 
Oleh, the web ui can add and display descriptions for custom repositories, doesn't the web ui use the API as well?
Comment 5 Oleh Fedorenko 2020-03-19 16:22:48 UTC 
Julio,

I'm not sure how exactly Katello manages their UI, but in nightly API documentation (which is used by hammer) I don't see anything that could be used to add descriptions while creating/updating repositories through API.
Comment 6 Bryan Kearney 2020-04-22 20:20:49 UTC 
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/29555 has been resolved.
Comment 18 Stephen Wadeley 2020-09-11 15:01:13 UTC 
Hello

while hammer repository create and hammer repository update now work with --description, there is no help output.
Raised this bug for that:

Bug 1878202 - No help output for hammer repository description
