+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1955421 +++ Description of problem: Failed to create a host using a nested hostgroup because all values that inherited from the parent host group are not set, such has content_view_id, content_source_id, lifecycle_environment_id and kickstart_repository_id. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a parent hostgroup. Set the content source, content_view, lifecycle environment and the synced content. 2. Create a nested hostgroup that inherit the above values. 3. Create a host using the nested hostgroup. hammer host create --name "my-test-client1" --hostgroup-id <the nested hostgroup id> --location "Default Location" --organization "MYORG" --mac="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" --domain-id 1 --ask-root-password yes --subnet apac-mps --ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Actual results: Could not create the host: Medium can't be blank Content view can't be blank Lifecycle environment can't be blank Expected results: host created successfully Additional info: The "inherited_#{attribute}" method returns an array so rails is unable to set the nested attribute. # foreman-rake console Satellite 6.8 output: Hostgroup.find(21).inherited_kickstart_repository_id => 707 <========== Correct Satellite 6.9 output: Hostgroup.find(21).inherited_kickstart_repository_id => [707] <========= Wrong Make the following change in "/opt/theforeman/tfm/root/usr/share/gems/gems/katello-3.18.1.27/app/models/katello/concerns/hostgroup_extensions.rb" fixed the issue. @@ -126,7 +126,7 @@ facet_model = Facets.registered_facets[facet].hostgroup_configuration.model value = facet_model.where.not(attribute => nil).joins(:hostgroup).merge( ::Hostgroup.where(id: self.ancestor_ids).reorder(ancestry: :desc) - ).limit(1).pluck(attribute) + ).limit(1).pluck(attribute).first end value end --- Additional comment from on 2021-05-09T16:21:21Z Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/32464 has been resolved.
