Description Eric Lavarde 2020-07-16 13:26:15 UTC
Description of problem:

We just saw the CEE introduction to the self-upgrade of foreman-maintain and it appears that it's rather difficult to detect that a self-upgrade happened, and that a 2nd call is necessary, making automation difficult.



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

6.8.z

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a playbook which automates the upgrade of Satellite
2. how do you decide that you need to call foreman-maintain twice

Actual results:

return code is 0 and the message isn't very easy to parse and not promised to be stable.

Expected results:

either a specific return code which can be checked and/or a "stable" parsable output (one that won't change with each version, specific enough, etc), so that one can easily detect if a re-run is necessary.

Additional info:

Amit and Mike told me to open this BZ so I do it :-)

As per /usr/include/sysexits.h which recommends user-defined exit codes may be between 64-78, an exit code of 75 may be returned indicating the user/script may retry the command.

Comment 2 Bryan Kearney 2020-07-29 12:02:36 UTC
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/30471 has been resolved.

Comment 5 Jameer Pathan 2020-09-09 12:19:04 UTC
Verified:

Verified with:
- foreman-maintain v0.6.9

Test steps:
- Run 'foreman-maintain upgrade check/run'

Observation:
- now self upgrade returns status code 75 which means 'Temporary failure and user intervention is required'.
