Adding puppet classes to new host

Support
1

Running Katello 2.1 ; Foreman 1.7.2

When I create a new host and click on the "Puppet Classes" tab, I get a
message: "WARNING! Please select an environment first". Yet on the front
page, the environment is set to "production".

After the host is provisioned, I can edit it and add classes just fine.

What am I doing wrong?

That sounds like you're following the expected workflow, but not
getting the right results.
Normally when you select an environment, it will automatically load
available Puppet classes in the Puppet classes tab.

I'm thinking (maybe I'm wrong and there is a bug) that you haven't
imported any Puppet classes into that environment, and that's why they
don't show up.
The classes might have been imported after the Host was created and
hence you're able to add them when you edit the Host but not at
creation time.

Let us know if that's the case and you repeatedly hit the issue, and
if so open a bug here too - Issues - Foreman
thanks!

The puppet classes are available prior to host creation, and it seems to
always happen. I have not yet encountered a set of conditions which
displays the puppet classes on the "Puppet Classes" tab of the host
creation page.

I made a ticket here: Bug #9609: Cannot assign puppet classes to new host - Katello - Foreman

The workaround is pretty simple: just create the host with no classes, then
add classes later. It just seems that if it's going to be a tab on the host
creation page, it should work.

Thanks for your time.

If you click on new Host, then choose a Host group which makes the
Host use the Host group environment, do you see the classes on the
Puppet classes tab? Are you using any plugins? I think I might be
hitting the same bug but only when I use Katello and Foreman.

I haven't set up any host groups yet, so I can't help. Initial feedback on
the ticket seems to indicate that the problem is likely related to how
Katello extends the new host form.

Aside from the plugins that Katello adds, I added compute resource plugins
"compute", "ovirt", and "libvirt". However, as of now I've only configured
"compute".

Hope this helps.
