RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 John Sefler 2011-07-15 16:17:22 UTC
Description of problem:
Subscribe should not be successful when specifying a --quantity less than or equal to zero.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-onprem-62server ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-0.96.4-1.git.4.f2638c9.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
# subscription-manager list --avail
+-------------------------------------------+
    Available Subscriptions
+-------------------------------------------+


ProductName:       	Awesome OS with up to 4 virtual guests
ProductId:         	awesomeos-virt-4         
PoolId:            	8a90f8c6312b1da001312b1f2ea802f4
Quantity:          	10                       
Expires:           	09/12/2012     


TEST CASES....

# subscription-manager unsubscribe --all
# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=8a90f8c6312b1da001312b1f2ea802f4 --quantity=0
Successfully subscribed the system to Pool 8a90f8c6312b1da001312b1f2ea802f4

^^^ THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE SUCCEEDED


# subscription-manager unsubscribe --all
# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=8a90f8c6312b1da001312b1f2ea802f4 --quantity=-1
Successfully subscribed the system to Pool 8a90f8c6312b1da001312b1f2ea802f4

^^^ THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE SUCCEEDED


# subscription-manager unsubscribe --all
# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=8a90f8c6312b1da001312b1f2ea802f4 --quantity=one
one is not a valid value for quantity

^^^ THAT'S GOOD.  PUT A PERIOD AT THE END OF THE MESSAGE.


# subscription-manager unsubscribe --all
# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=8a90f8c6312b1da001312b1f2ea802f4 --quantity=11
No free entitlements are available for the pool with id '8a90f8c6312b1da001312b1f2ea802f4'

^^^ THAT'S ALMOST GOOD.   PUT A PERIOD AT THE END OF THE MESSAGE.
MORE ACCURATE MSG: Not enough free entitlements are available for the pool with id '8a90f8c6312b1da001312b1f2ea802f4'.


# subscription-manager unsubscribe --all[root@jsefler-onprem-62server ~]# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=8a90f8c6312b1da001312b1f2ea802f4 --quantity=1
Successfully subscribed the system to Pool 8a90f8c6312b1da001312b1f2ea802f4
# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=8a90f8c6312b1da001312b1f2ea802f4 --quantity=1
This consumer is already subscribed to the product matching pool with id '8a90f8c6312b1da001312b1f2ea802f4'

^^^ THAT'S GOOD.   PUT A PERIOD AT THE END OF THE MESSAGES.

Fixed in master at c1634f2d016fc9a48e0b22a20bc7e005381a45e5


All errors now return:

Error: Quantity must be a positive number.


The "This consumer..." error message will require a rebuild of the candlepin server. That commit is 886f8834b9fef18d9eb645c99de752ac7ef280aa.
