Description Adrian Likins 2011-01-21 18:48:00 UTC
Description of problem:

Try to view all available subscriptions on a system that can't authenticate
properly, get 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/rhsm/async.py", line 48, in _watch_thread
    callback(error=error)
  File "/usr/share/rhsm/gui/allsubs.py", line 176, in _update_display
    _("Unable to search for subscriptions"))
  File "/usr/share/rhsm/gui/utils.py", line 55, in handle_gui_exception
    errorWindow(msg % linkify(e.msg))
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting


Steps to Reproduce:

Easiest way seems to be to use an invalid id cert. Either from an old
registrations, or from an old candlepin instance. 

Do that, then go to "all subscriptions", and hit "update"

Actual results:


Expected results:
Nice error message about the 401 and that my auth is bad

Comment 2 Justin Harris 2011-01-24 16:01:25 UTC
This is fixed in the BETA branch, but Devan mentioned overhauling this whole linkify business.  We should be sure to test this scenario again after his refactor is in.

Verified using following setup 

Candlepin : Latest on-premises 
client : Rhel6 with following rpm version 

[root@finalbeta2 ~]# rpm -qa | grep subscription
subscription-manager-gnome-0.95.2-1.el6.x86_64
subscription-manager-0.95.2-1.el6.x86_64
subscription-manager-firstboot-0.95.2-1.el6.x86_64


Working fine 
Changing defect status from ON_QA to verified
