Description Corey Welton 2012-01-24 18:00:03 UTC
Description of problem:

Currently when there is an error of some sort installing errata, the UI remains in an "Installing..." state for some time (not sure it's forever - it seems to eventually timeout) without ever throwing an error.  Errors from the backend are not being passed through to ui layer.


Steps to Reproduce:

I don't know exact steps to produce an error, but in this case, I am seeing the following error in the gofer log on the client:


2012-01-24 12:39:40,221 [ERROR][worker-0] __call__() @ dispatcher.py:488 - Values instance has no attribute 'repos'
Traceback (most recent call last):

    installed = p.install(names)

  File "/usr/share/yum-plugins/rhnplugin.py", line 199, in prereposetup_hook
    for opt, repoexp in opts.repos:
AttributeError: Values instance has no attribute 'repos'
2012-01-24 12:39:40,227 [INFO][worker-0] sendreply() @ rmi.py:158 - 9b33d4d2-f7b9-406e-a64a-eea9867d8878 processed in: 1.205 (seconds)

Actual results:
Error on client side, UI continues showing "Installing..." as if nothing happened.

Expected results:
* If an error is thrown (on either host or client side), the error should bubble up to gui, resulting in some sort of failure message in the errata screen and/or notification log. At very least, it shouldn't give false sense of everything being hunky-dory.


Additional info:
Actual error above, while maybe important, is not 100% relevant to the bug itself, which is the simple need to bubble errors up to UI.

getting rid of 6.0.0 version since that doesn't exist

Comment 4 Brad Buckingham 2014-09-03 21:11:01 UTC
There have been significant changes upstream (and downstream), since this bug was initially created.  This includes changes such as:
- upgraded versions of pulp
- ui re-written using angularjs
- content host actions updated to use dynflow

With all of these changes, if an error does occur which causes the a failure of a content host action, the user should now have traceability of the error through dynflow.

For now, I am going to close this BZ.  If the issue comes back we can either reopen this one or file a new one.
