Description of problem:
No option or dropdown to remove packages using katello-agent in new host UI, if katello-agent plugin is enabled using installer
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.12.2 Snap 1.0
Satellite 6.13.0 Snap 7.0
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable katello-agent on Satellite using --foreman-proxy-content-enable-katello-agent true
2. Register host using global registration template and enable el8 repo
3. Navigate to Content tab on host details page
5. On sub-tab Packages, select package to remove, which uses REX by default (REX fails to remove package if katello-agent is enabled, ref BZ 2162544)
Actual results:
No option/dropdown to remove packages using katello-agent in new host UI, if katello-agent plugin is enabled using installer,
Expected results:
Option to remove packages using katello-agent in new host UI, as similar to install packages
Additional info:
Hello Gaurav,
The Remove action will use katello-agent or REX as appropriate. The way it decides is:
1. Look for the setting 'remote_execution_by_default'. If that's turned on, use REX. Otherwise..
2. On the host's content facet, look for the two properties 'katello_agent_installed' (which indicates if katello-agent is listed in the host's installed packages) and 'katello_agent_enabled' (which reflects if Satellite has katello-agent enabled - !!SETTINGS.dig(:katello, :agent, :enabled).)
3. If both of the above are true, use katello-agent.
4. Otherwise, use REX.
Can you confirm if the behavior you're seeing matches this expected behavior?
Responding to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2162542#c4
The "Remove" option in the new host UI will use katello-agent if it's enabled and installed on the host, and will use REX otherwise. The wording on the screen is always simply "Remove" and not "Remove via katello-agent."
However, for installing new packages the wording is "Install via katello-agent" or "Install via remote execution" -- in other words, it tells you what it's going to use, and gives you the option of using REX even if katello-agent is available.
We should probably adjust the wording to be consistent. Since katello-agent is going away, I'd vote for having just a single "Install" or "Remove" in both places. Thoughts?
