Description of problem: Maximum values in the quantity selector in subscription-manager-gui only work in the most basic sense, with subscriptions that have only one pool/contract. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): subscription-manager-gnome-0.98.7-1.git.2.a7a5a30.el5_7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a multi-entitlement product, (I used 100000000000002.pem from TESTDATA) 2. Start up subscription-manager-gui and register 3. Go to the "All Available Subscriptions" tab and search for a subscription 4. See scenarios below... Case 1: When you use the spinbutton entry to adjust the quantity, It limits you to the correct maximum. When you perform a text entry of the quantity, you can enter in any number you want as long as it is not negative. If you pick a number greater than your maximum and subscribe you get an error. Expected: If it limits you to positive numbers, shouldn't it limit your maximum value in a similar way? Case 2: With the test data you have two pools for 100000000000002.pem, one with a quantity of 5, and one with a quantity of 10. In the search window you'll see that your overall quantity available is 15. If you select 15 here and hit subscribe it brings up the contract selection window. In here, both contracts are pre-populated with a quantity of 15, even though their maximum quantities are 5 and 10 respectively. If you hit subscribe on one you get an error. Expected: This one is a bit tougher. It should probably populate each contract with its max possible quantity in this scenario at the very least. But if you do this you have to go back after subscribing, and subscribe again to get your 15 subscriptions. There would need to be some mechanism here of pulling from multiple contracts at the same time. One possibility would be to add check-boxes and then logic to intelligently check and select quantities based on your quantity requirement you selected in the first window.
Case 2 is a duplicated in Bug 760618
Moving to QA based on triage meeting with sefler / wottop.
Case 1 has not been fixed. The behavior has slightly changed since I opened the original bug. I used to get immediate feedback if I put a number less than 1, and wanted to get immediate feedback if I typed a number greater than the max available. Now I don't get any errors until after the contract selection dialog which causes some user confusion. If its possible I would want the warning to show as soon as I set a negative number or a number greater than the max available. Or at the very least the warning would show as soon as you hit subscribe for the first time and not after the next dialog. Throwing this back as this part has not been fixed. =========== On another note, I think part of the fix for Case 2 would probably also fix Case 1 as you would have to check the bounds of the quantity before the contract selection anyway.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 and Red Hat does not plan to fix this issue the currently developed update. Contact your manager or support representative in case you need to escalate this bug.
Case 1 is fixed in master bcd35057b6e3758c0e10cab63b5a2b24f3c717cd. Dispite the notice in comment 4, should this be included in RHEL5.8 branch? or is master good enough?
Created attachment 566078 [details] maxed spin button subscription-manager-gnome-0.99.8-1.git.18.e98707c.el6.x86_64 Case 1 is fixed as of the above version. The spin button maxes out at the max available (for both the search window and the contract selection). You can also not enter in a number bigger than the available via text entry. The 'up arrow' in the spin button is grayed out when you reach the max (see screenshot). Marking VERIFIED.
