Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Sam Bible 2023-07-13 14:52:07 UTC 
Description of problem:
When attempting to run `hammer content-export` on a Content View containing a Repository that is either unsynced, or that has it's Download Policy set to On-Demand, an unhelpful error message is returned:
undefined method `first' for nil:NilClass
This could cause confusion for customers, as it looks like a serious error, but it is expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.13

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sync some repository like Satellite Client, and ensure that the download policy is set to On Demand
2. Create a Content View, attach the Repo, and publish a version
3. SSH into the Satellite, and run the command: `hammer content-export complete version --content-view="<CV Name>" --version=<CV Version> --organization="<Org Name"

Actual results:
Error: Remote artifacts cannot be exported.
undefined method `first' for nil:NilClass
Is returned as the error message.

Expected results:
Perhaps only the first line, and not the undefined method line; could also give some better explanation for the cause.

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/36162 has been resolved.

Hi Shweta,

Per our conversation in triage, you mentioned that this may be fixed in 6.14.0.  I am adding this needinfo as a reminder to perform a quick check/verification.  If it is resolved in 6.14.0, we can triage to that release and mark verified; otherwise, we can revisit in our next triage session.

Thanks!
