Description Ed Santiago 2010-05-24 20:41:25 UTC 
Created attachment 416222 [details]
bkr-submit.xml

Description of problem:

$ bkr job-cancel 924
Exception: exceptions.ValueError:need more than 1 value to unpack

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

beaker-client.noarch                   0.5.38-1.el5                    installed

How reproducible:

Two out of two attempts, on two unrelated hosts.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. bkr job-submit see-attachment.xml
2. wait for job to start running (not sure if this is necessary)
3. bkr job-cancel 924
  
Actual results:

Exception: exceptions.ValueError:need more than 1 value to unpack

Expected results:

(some sort of success)

Additional info:

$ cat ~/.beaker_client/config                                               HUB_URL = "https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com"
AUTH_METHOD = "krbv"
KRB_REALM = "REDHAT.COM"

Also tried with --msg="message".  No change.  Cancelling from the web GUI[1] worked fine.  Browser read "Successfully cancelled job 924" in an orange bar at top, and I received email within 2 seconds.

Original XML attached.  As it says (I hope) in the description, please treat it with suspicion.  There may be something incomplete or missing in this XML.

bkr-submit.xml

Eek.  Changed "Description" field to just the filename.  I misunderstood that field.

Again, please treat this XML with suspicion.  It's something created by me, without a full understanding of beaker requirements.
Comment 2 Marian Csontos 2010-06-09 14:02:33 UTC 
Job should be specified in J:NNN form. bkr job-cancel can also cancel particular RecipeSets (RS:NNN) and recipes (R:NNN)

However it looks sensible making J: the default... Bill?

> Job should be specified in J:NNN form. 

Ah.  That wasn't clear from the help message.

Whether or not J:nnn is made the default, would it make sense to fix the error message to something more user-friendly?

  bkr: invalid taskspec '924'; for help, type bkr job-cancel --help

(updating the job-cancel help message as well)
Comment 4 Raymond Mancy 2010-06-30 05:43:35 UTC 
User Guide also states it needs to be J:NNN, but yeah, kind of seems redundant.
Comment 5 Dan Callaghan 2012-02-01 04:25:22 UTC 
We can make the error message here a bit more helpful.
