Cannot remove content view, error is "undefined method `ends_with?' for nil:NilClass"

cmasopust · November 19, 2021, 2:35pm

Problem: removal of content view not possible because a version cannot be removed

Expected outcome: content view removed

Foreman and Proxy versions: 3.0.1

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions: Katello 4.2.1

Other relevant data:

It all started with some repositories no longer being available to my clients, although they are synchronized and member of the related content views. So I tried to simple publish a new version of those content views and received the following error:

Error message: the server returns an error
HTTP status code: 404
Response headers: {“date”=>“Fri, 19 Nov 2021 08:19:51 GMT”, “server”=>“gunicorn”, “content-type”=>“application/json”, “vary”=>“Accept,Cookie”, “allow”=>“GET, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS”, “x-frame-options”=>“SAMEORIGIN”, “content-length”=>“23”, “correlation-id”=>“b77c4bc7-90ab-46dd-999a-605c735a0e83”, “access-control-expose-headers”=>“Correlation-ID”, “via”=>“1.1 xxx-katello.xxxxx.lan”, “connection”=>“close”}
Response body: {“detail”:“Not found.”}Error message: the server returns an error

Searching for that I found some hint to remove these content views and create new ones. I tried this and got the following exception:

NoMethodError: undefined method `ends_with?’ for nil:NilClass

and the related backtrace is:

So, is there any way I can get rid of this damaged content view? Any other things to check?
Or… should I completely dump this foreman system and reinstall from scratch??

Thanks!

The ends_with? error implies that one of the repositories in the content view doesn’t have a version_href for some reason.

If you know which repository might be corrupted, you could go to its details (Products > (your product name) > Repositories) and (1) make sure it has an Upstream URL, (2) maybe try a complete sync (repo details > Select action > Advanced sync > Complete sync).
