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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Description Brad Buckingham 2013-06-14 22:45:38 UTC 
Description of problem:

When a user creates a content view definition, it is possible that they add a filter, but forget to specify products/repositories for that filter.  When that happens, the user can still publish/refresh the view; however, the filter will not get applied.  This can be confusing to the user; therefore, we should help them out.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
katello-1.4.2-14.el6sat.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a provider/product/repo
2. sync repo
3. create a content view definition
4. associate product with the definition
5. create a filter on the definition, but do not associate a product/repo with the filter
6. create a filter rule to 'exclude' a couple of packages
7. publish the definition as a view

Actual results:
observe that the published view contains all pkgs from the repo

Expected results:
the view is created omitting the specified packages

The following are a few things that might help the user:
1. make the 'Repositories' tab of the filter the 'default' tab when none have been selected.
2. do not allow user to add a filter rule if there are no products/repos associated with the filter... could possibly disable the tab where rules are created
3. prohibit the user from removing the last product/repo from the filter, when there is at least 1 filter rule
   - or - 
4. warn the user if they attempt to publish/refresh a view when there is a filter that does not have any products/repos associated with it, but has at least one filter rule

katello pull request:

https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/2971

For this BZ, updates were made to support the following suggestions from the initial description:
1. make the 'Repositories' tab of the filter the 'default' tab when none have been selected.
2. do not allow user to add a filter rule if there are no products/repos associated with the filter.

For the long-term, there are mockups which will drastically change the UI; therefore, for the short-term, did not pursue suggestions 3 & 4.

Suggestions 1 & 2 are implemented as mentioned in comment2.

'Repositories' tab selected as default tab when you create a filter and when no other repos are associated to filter

when no repo is associated to filter then user will not get 'Add New Rule' button.
