TASK [satellite-clone : Disassociate capsules with lifecycle environments (to avoid the cloned Satellite server talking with live capsules)] ***
Friday 07 April 2017  12:58:35 -0400 (0:00:00.026)       0:56:25.277 ********** 
changed: [localhost]

stdout: All Capsules are unassociated with any lifecycle environments. This is to avoid any syncing errors with your original Satellite and any interference with existing infrastructure. To reverse these changes, run the following commands, making sure to replace the credentials with your own.
hammer -u admin -p changeme --csv capsule content add-lifecycle-environment --id 2 --environment QE --organization "S?o Paulo"
hammer -u admin -p changeme --csv capsule content add-lifecycle-environment --id 3 --environment QE --organization "S?o Paulo"

Additional info:

Looks like the script won't handle special characters well. Unfortunately capsule info only returns capsule info by name

We can maybe use --json and parse that

[akofink]

While parsing json is one solution, I would be interested in where the special characters are not supported. During preliminary testing in IRB, it seems that Ruby 2.3 can parse special characters returned from hammer and pass them back to hammer as options in a subsequent command. Other things to try:

• Does the default shell on RHEL6/7 that this is being run on support the special characters/UTF-8?
• Check the Ruby version installed by default on the failing machine, and test with that specific version. Perhaps Ruby 1.9 or 2.0 doesn't support system commands with UTF-8.

If all else fails, then json parsing it is!

[rplevka]

Constructing the hammer command and parsing its output may go wrong on many levels. Why don't we use the API straight away and use json module to parse the response? We can operate solely on the ids.

Also, shouldn't we have the credentials parametrized? This script statically relies on admin:changeme

import json
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

sat = 'sat6-server.domain.com'
usr = 'admin'
pwd = 'changeme'

capsule_get = requests.get(
    'https://{0}/api/capsules'.format(sat),                                                                                                       
    auth=HTTPBasicAuth(usr, pwd),
    verify=False
)
capsules = json.loads(capsule_get.text)
