Unable to add 2nd file-system drift
Last modified: 2015-11-01 19:42:13 EST
Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): JON 3.0.0.CR2 Build Number: 0a92497:a16c2ea How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. have 1 file-system drift (watching /opt/drifts) 2. add 2nd file-system drift (watching /tmp) on same platform Actual results: it fails with error saying : javax.ejb.EJBException:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: You cannot change an existing drift definition's base directory or includes/excludes filters. -> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:You cannot change an existing drift definition's base directory or includes/excludes filters. Expected results: 2nd drift is added
okay ... i see what is going on here. ...not changing to a unique name on the 2nd drift definition ... is causing this problem. #1) it is possible to add a 2nd file-system drift #2) this is still an issue ... a negative test around creating a 2nd drift with the same name as the first ...
I wonder perhaps if we should just leave the name field blank when creating a new definition or template. Pre-filling with the name of the existing template leads to these sorts of issues.
This is not a bug, I think. If you like make it an RFE and move it out of sprint9 blocker list.
i agree that there is no functionality provided to change or increment or somehow make the name of new drift definitions unique, and adding that functionality would indeed be an RFE. however, i think this is still a bug ... on a negative test where you add a drift definition with the same name as an existing drift defintion. in this situation, the error message provided is confusing and does not in any way indicate what the issue is ... i will remove the sprint #9 blocker as requested and add a blocker on usability tracker
master commit cfe30b134dd06cca8d22c0eacdc994a6021a73f4 The drift definition name and description are no longer preset to the template name and description. The user will now need to enter a name. This should help prevent duplicate names, or mistakenly using the template's name. Also, the exception thrown on duplicate naming has been updated to indicate that that may in fact be the problem.
Verified on latest master build#827 (Version: 4.3.0-SNAPSHOT Build Number: 0753aae) Verified that while creating a new drift definition, drift definition name and description does not preset to the template name and description. User has to enter a drift definition name and the description. If user tries to enter a duplicate drift definition name, the exception indicates it as below: 2011-12-12 15:01:09,447 WARN [gwt-log] Sending exception to client: [1323682269445] javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: A new definition must have a unique name. An existing definition cannot update it's base directory or includes/excludes filters.
