Description Ahmed Eladawy 2022-03-31 09:39:07 UTC
Description of problem:

When opening 4 child hostgroups (sharing the same parent) from the GUI , an error occurs :

undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass
2022-03-24T15:05:47 [I|app|2b5772f9] Backtrace for 'undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass' error (ActionView::Template::Error): undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass

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

satellite 6.10.3

How reproducible:

Could be reproduced.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigating to hostgroup page on the satellite


Actual results:

Error undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass 

Expected results:

Viewing/editing hostgroup

Additional info:

- The issue is only with 4 hostgroups sharing the same parent.
- New hostgroups with the same parent work without issue.
- The issue started after upgrading from 6.9.8 to 6.10.3
- Removing current assigned Ansible roles to the hostgroup using hammer did not fix the issue.
- The full trace of the error will be on the first comment.

Comment 2 Brad Buckingham 2022-03-31 14:10:13 UTC
Does the same error occur if viewing the child hostgroup from hammer?

> Does the same error occur if viewing the child hostgroup from hammer?

No, from hammer , the hostgroup can be viewed and edited without issues.

Comment 4 momran 2022-04-13 08:34:11 UTC
A similar error is encountered when editing hosts in Satellite's 6.10.3 web UI.

As a test, we tried the 'hammer host ansible-roles assign' command as per [1], and it worked fine.

Comment 7 Pavel Moravec 2022-05-12 12:48:10 UTC
Reproducer: add an ansible role to a HostGroup while removing the same ansible role. Then editing the HG fails with above backtrace.

Detailed reproducer in WebUI:

- Edit a HostGroup and navigate to Ansible Roles pane
- Add an Ansible Role from the Available Roles - do NOT click to Submit button yet!
- Meanwhile, open Ansible Roles page and delete the role you are about to add to the HG
- Now, Submit the HG change
- Edit the same HG

It seems we need to validate list of ansible role IDs at the time of submitting a HostGroup change?

Hi,
I'm closing the BZ as won't fix. After triaging the BZ with the team we agreed that there is no point in creating a
generic BZ, as this problem is across the whole application and there are no planned efforts to fix the issue.
