Description of problem: According to the API documentation of channel.software.getDetails the API call should return struct(hash) with 21 keys (None of them is referred to be optional). In reality, the API call returns a struct with 16 keys. The 5 keys which are missing in my cases are: maintainer_name maintainer_email maintainer_phone support_policy clone_original could we please amend the documentation to refer these as optional? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHN Satellite 5.4.1+ How reproducible: deterministic Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create custom channel (channel.software.create) 2. Pull channel details out (channel.software.getDetails) 3. Actual results: API result does not correspond with the documentation. Expected results: API results corresponds with the documentation. Additional info: Not a regression against RHN Satellite 5.3+
Simon, you're right for the first 4 attributes. Not for "clone_original", that shall be returned every time. Returning empty string instead of omitting the attribute in the API ... spacewalk.git: 7400ba5f68c312777c98ce942ec243859a76c86c
