Created attachment 635047 [details] katello logs Description of problem: CLI call `template export` is broken and returns an exception: --- error: string indices must be integers, not str (more in the log file /var/log/katello/client.log) --- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): katello-1.1.12-18.el6cf.noarch katello-cli-1.1.8-10.el6cf.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: client remeber your org & create an env: testing alias kk="katello -uadmin -padmin" kk template create --name temp1 kk template update --add_parameter hostname --value localhost --name temp1 kk changeset create --name cs2 --environment testing kk changeset update --add_template temp1 --name cs2 --environment testing kk changeset promote --name cs2 --environment testing kk template export --name temp1 --format tdl --file /tmp/temp1.tdl --environment testing Actual results: error: string indices must be integers, not str (more in the log file /var/log/katello/client.log) Expected results: no error, template should get exported (as expected) Additional info: katello logs are attached in tarball.
btw: seems that --format json is ok and the problem is with TDL format only.
I'm not experiencing this problem using the following snap#6 packages ... * katello-1.1.12-18.el6cf.noarch * katello-cli-1.1.8-10.el6cf.noarch > # TEMPLATE=rhel-x86_64-5.8-cf-tools > # kk template export --environment Dev --org redhat --name "${TEMPLATE}" --file "/var/www/html/templates/Dev/${TEMPLATE}.xml" --format tdl > Template was exported successfully to file /var/www/html/templates/Dev/rhel-x86_64-5.8-cf-tools.xml From your /var/log/katello/client.log ... > 2012-10-29 11:17:55,553 [ERROR][MainThread] error() @ base.py:189 - string indices must be integers, not str > 2012-10-29 11:17:55,553 [ERROR][MainThread] error() @ base.py:190 - Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/katello/client/cli/base.py", line 202, in main > ret_code = super(KatelloCLI, self).main(args, command_name, parent_usage) > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/katello/client/core/base.py", line 298, in main > return subcommand.main(self.args[1:], self.args[0], self._get_usage_line(command_name, parent_usage)) > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/katello/client/core/base.py", line 298, in main > return subcommand.main(self.args[1:], self.args[0], self._get_usage_line(command_name, parent_usage)) > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/katello/client/core/base.py", line 392, in main > msg = ", ".join(re.args[1]["errors"]) > TypeError: string indices must be integers, not str This is an error while trying to display an authentication credential error.

James, I did followed exactly the same steps in comment#0. The alias called kk="katello -uadmin -padmin" is prepared. Also: the one with --format=json is working fine. So not sure what kind of authentication issue could be there. I think it is an issue in code that needs to be fixed by developers.
Assigned Eric, will report back on our findings
After following the steps above and perusing the logs, the issue here is not as it seems and is two fold. 1) The steps outlined above should NOT result in an exported TDL (in either xml or json). A TDL requires at least one product and exactly one distribution present. The steps above contain neither, and thus the user should be presented with: "Template cannot be exported: At least repository must be present to export a TDL, Exactly one distribution must be present to export a TDL" This error message is being improperly handled by the CLI and thus throwing an error. This is evident by examining the production.log and if you attempt to export the above system template in the UI the user will be presented with the same error notification. 2) The CLI allows for exporting as JSON while the UI does not. Examining the code for export via JSON, we are not calling the TDL validation code and thus when attempting to export an empty template as JSON the operation succeeds. But produces an invalid TDL.
Lets fix the CLI code such that it actually renders the correct error message.
Issue fixed as of 754635c7398df598906ab0d2af96f2bcc66dfe54 See also https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/986 This updates to allow the proper validation error to be displayed to user when using the CLI to export a template that does not meet the criteria of: 1) Having a single distribution 2) Having at least one product
# COMMENT the error message part is verified: it correctly now replies: one need to have distribution and repo there. will check the correct workflow too :)
