 Successfully created Repo [ newrepo ]


Suggestion : we should not be able to create repo without feed

Nop, Both are supported. A feedless repo is to support custom content and the error you're seeing has nothing to do with whether its feed or feedless.

Again, Please attach server side logs when you open bugs like this. There is no way for us to tell what the issue is from this bug report.

=============================================================

This is working. Would it possible to remove the  'u' from the message if the repo doesnot exist. 

eg: u'No Repo with id: test found'

[root@preethi ~]# pulp-admin -u admin -p admin repo sync --id=test
Sync Status:: error
Error : PulpException: u'No Repo with id: test found'

This appears to have regressed in the latest QA Build:

[root@tsanders-x201 pulp]# rpm -qa | grep pulp
pulp-common-0.0.59-1.fc13.noarch
pulp-0.0.59-1.fc13.noarch
pulp-client-0.0.59-1.fc13.noarch

1. Attempting to sync a non-existent repo:

[root@tsanders-x201 pulp]# pulp-admin repo sync --id=doesntexist
Task created with ID::

  File "/usr/bin/pulp-admin", line 30, in <module>

    print "Task created with ID::", task_object['id']

2. Attempting to sync a feedless repo:

[root@tsanders-x201 pulp]# pulp-admin repo sync --id=todd
"Traceback (most recent call last):\n  File \"/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pulp/server/webservices/controllers/base.py\", line 51, in report_error\n    return method(self, *args, **kwargs)\n  File \"/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pulp/server/webservices/role_check.py\", line 106, in check_roles\n    result = f(instance, *fargs, **kw)\n  File \"/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pulp/server/webservices/controllers/repositories.py\", line 242, in sync\n    if repo['source']['type'] in ('yum', 'rhn'):\nTypeError: 'NoneType' object is unsubscriptable\n"

Looks like this is caused due to commit:

commit d56db564d996c2981b31b9b248d62bf7ee82e1a7
Author: Jason L Connor <jconnor>
Date:   Thu Aug 26 12:49:06 2010 -0600

    implemented progress callbacks for rhn and yum repo syncs

When we added progress callback support we dint take into account the fact that same method is applicable to feedless repos.

I'll poke around

Fixed!

commit 7e5d3a54a012f2f095e9ebe91fe496db0b0ea83a
Author: Pradeep Kilambi <pkilambi>
Date:   Tue Sep 7 09:53:44 2010 -0400

    Setup callbacks only for repos with source set. A feedless repo can have a source as None

With Fix:

$ sudo pulp-admin repo sync --id=feedless
Task created with ID:: 3bb26f66-ba87-11df-a1d2-0023ae793dbc
