Quoting from IRC:

13:16 < sonicblaze> sandersr: Do you have a composite content view that doesn't have any member content views? that's what that line would suggest
13:17 < sandersr> sonicblaze: nope. I've got only 2 composite content views and both contain 5 CVs each
13:18 < sandersr> I've created an issue here: https://github.com/RedHatSatellite/katello-cvmanager/issues/35 but talking about it here might be faster
16:35 < Zhenech> sandersr, sonic's guess is also what I would have said.

Line 223 reads:

    ids = Array.new(ccv['component_ids'])

and that will error out if ccv['component_ids'] is nil.

can you add the following lines before line 223 and show us the output?

puts ccv['component_ids']
puts ccv['components']

[sandersr]

Changed the code to:

    puts "Inspecting #{ccv['name']}"
    puts "Listing IDS:"
    puts ccv['component_ids']
    puts "Listing components:"
    puts ccv['components'] 

Output result:

[sandersr]

Any idea how to find out what's causing the problem?

[evgeni]

Well, I would have expected the content_ids to be [41,42,43,44,45] not nil... I have not the slightest idea why it is nil here.

[evgeni]

Can you try:

-     ids = Array.new(ccv['component_ids'])
+     ids = Array.new(ccv['components'].flat_map{|i| i['id']})

This should get the IDs from components, not from component_ids.

[evgeni]

Might be related to http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/18820?

[sandersr]

@evgeni this patch made it work but not quite. It's not throwing an error any more but it's not updating nor promoting anything.

publish command works as expected tho.

[evgeni]

Good that the patch helped. The other part is maybe https://github.com/RedHatSatellite/katello-cvmanager/issues/23? cvmanager sadly uses name/label inconsistently. update uses labels, but publish and promote uses names.

[sandersr]

I've seen this issue a few days ago, so I've updated my names to match my labels. Makes no difference.

[evgeni]

Can you post --verbose output please?

[sandersr]

No difference. Gives me the same output.

[evgeni]

Do you have the latest version? update got verbose support in https://github.com/RedHatSatellite/katello-cvmanager/commit/7054ac58eebeb06b6cedcde75dee797b7fa87b34, promote does not have any though.

[sandersr]

Sorry, I thought you were asking about promote --verbose.

[evgeni]

So it thinks that all the components are already at the latest version, and thus no update is required. Which obviously does not match the publish run you had before that.

Can you post the output of hammer content-view version list --content-view "Default Organization View" --organization "Default Organization" for some of the involved content views?

[sandersr]

When I manually create a new version of CCV, promote action works as expected.

It seems that only --update action is not playing ball.

I will have to demote and remove newly (manually) created CCV to post the logs you requested.

[evgeni]

I think I know where you issue is coming from. Will post a test-patch later.

[sandersr]

The list you requested:

[sandersr]

Did you have any luck with the patch?

[evgeni]

So I was thinking of something like this:

diff --git a/cvmanager b/cvmanager
index bf2d19c..563ce8e 100755
--- a/cvmanager
+++ b/cvmanager
@@ -242,7 +242,8 @@ def update()
       # instead of hard-coding the versions, the user can also specify "latest"
       if desired_version == 'latest'
         cvversions = @api.resource(:content_view_versions).call(:index, {:content_view_id => component['content_view']['id']})
-        desired_version = cvversions['results'][0]['version']
+        cvversions = cvversions['results'].sort_by { |v| v['version'].to_f }.reverse
+        desired_version = cvversions[0]['version']
         puts_verbose "  Found #{desired_version} as the 'latest' version"
       end

However, your output above suggests that 4.0 is actually the newest version for most of the CVs?

[sandersr]

ok, I've added a few more versions for each CV. The output now:

for a in ` ./cvmanager --wait update | awk '{print $2}'`; do hammer -p XXXXXXX  content-view version list --content-view $a --organization-id 3; done

Maybe I don't understand how it's supposed to work. I believe - based on the docs I've read - that "update" should publish a new version of CCV matching the latest versions of CV and promote should push this new version to DEV or PROD env. Am I wrong here?

[evgeni]

So the idea is that you have CVs for your content parts, serve CCVs to your clients, and cvmanager keeps the CVs in the CCVs uptodate. So the workflow would be:

1. manually update a CV to have new content or do a publish
2. run update to have the CCVs set to the new version of the CV you changed before
3. run promote to push out the CCV to the other lifecycles

So taking OS_updates_EL6 as an example above: you created version 8.0 somehow, update makes sure ALL_CentOS6_Updates contains v8, promote pushes it to the next lifecycle.

But in your paste it seems that ALL_CentOS6_Updates already contains v8 of OS_updates_EL6 so cvmanager does nothing.

[sandersr]

My setup matches your description. All hosts use CCV - either ALL_CentOS6_Updates or ALL_CentOS7_Updates. I based my setup on "Fully automated CCV for automated patching" example

So what I've done is:

1) run publish - new version of CV are added to the Library env (lots of new packages available) 2) run update - CCVs tell me they're using the latest versions 3) run promote - nothing happens

The client has no new updates available. What am I missing?

[jviau-fuze]

I encountered this issue recently while trying to set up the tool. Solution ( for me) was to change the component versions of my composite content view from "latest" to a version number. the publish, update,promote workflow worked perfectly after that.

[cheeseburger12]

hi @sandersr, i have the same Problem with the CCVs update. I have all my repos in CCV_ALL_6 and CCV_ALL_7. The CV are already up to date, but the CCVs, what my clients will see don't have the latest version. Do you have allready a solution for this Problem? ` Checking cv-centos6 [VERBOSE] Desired version latest found in CCV [VERBOSE] Found 5.0 as the 'latest' version

Checking cv_mariadb_6 [VERBOSE] Desired version latest found in CCV [VERBOSE] Found 2.0 as the 'latest' version
