RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0350 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE subscription-manager bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 20:53:35 UTC

Description Matt Reid 2012-11-13 21:39:14 UTC 
Description of problem:

Adding the hyphen to our option here allows us to stay consistent with our hyphenation throughout the gui and cli, as some strings directly reference the option (which when it was --autosubscribe, was also not hyphenated) and led us to flip between hyphenating and not hyphenating.

It would be awesome if we could update '--autoattach' to be '--auto-attach'.

Also, is it possible to still have --auto work here since they're really the same command? I get an 'ambiguous option message' when I try that now, since it wants me to pick between --autosubscribe and --autoattach. Not sure if there's anything fancy we can do there, like give precedence to --auto-attach, or have a hidden alias for --auto or something?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.1.7-1

Additional info:
subscription-manager: error: ambiguous option: --auto (--autoattach, --autosubscribe?)

    876340: Move the last of the commands and help string to --auto-attach
    
    Most of these were already done by prior bugs. This was more clean up.

Verifying version...

Usage: rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -f, --force           ignore channels not available on RHSM
  -g, --gui             launch the GUI tool to attach subscriptions, instead
                        of auto-attaching
  -n, --no-auto         don't execute the auto-attach option while registering
                        with subscription manager

VERIFIED comment2 fixed the descriptions for -g and -n above

Also....
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# subscription-manager register --help | grep -- --auto
  --autosubscribe       Deprecated, see --auto-attach
  --auto-attach         automatically attach this system to

^^^ VERIFIED that both --autosubscribe and --auto-attach are register options

Moving this bugzilla to VERIFIED.



Additional Info...
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# subscription-manager register --auto
Usage: subscription-manager register [OPTIONS]

subscription-manager: error: ambiguous option: --auto (--auto-attach, --autosubscribe?)

^^^ To my knowledge, using the "--auto" option abreviation will always be blocked by the python parser who is nice enough to complete the option when possible.  The ambiguity error will not get changed.
