test_create_libvirt_without_mac fails with 'undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass'

[omaciel]

Our automation shows that the test_create_libvirt_without_mac fails with an error. At this point I am not yet sure whether this is an issue with Robottelo or Foreman yet.

[omaciel]

@sghai mind taking a peek?

[sghai]

@omaciel : Sure..looking now..

[sghai]

for me this test is working fine on our automation box

@Test: Create a libvirt host and not specify a MAC address. ... ok

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 46.819s

OK

[sghai]

I ran the same test on my local setup installed with 6.1.3 compose2 and it ran successfully.

[omaciel]

@sghai can we try this together today?

[sghai]

yeah.. sure @omaciel

[elyezer]

2884 will address the robottelo side failure when trying to format a stderr with unicode character, which is very common on robottelo random data.

This failure is visible on jenkins.

[omaciel]

@elyezer @sghai this is still failing for us.

[sghai]

@omaciel : I reproduced this issue on our auto box.

Could not create the host:
  Failed to create a compute 穒砏麅哦簬捰昛阑 (Libvirt) instance ubwrlu.5vxswr4si9: undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass

but its hard to debug on automation box due to:

• so many data entities on auto box
• entities created with utf-8 names..

Next step is to reproduce it on fresh setup. In any case, this test case needs to be updated..

[omaciel]

@sghai agreed. This test is outdated or no longer valid.

[elyezer]

@sghai need any help on fixing this?
