Error updating from Foreman 3.1 to Foreman 3.2

Problem:
Upgrading from Foreman 3.1 to Foreman 3.2 on a Centos 7 “foreman-installer” fails with errors. The first is when it tries to start foreman. These are first error messages:

Expected outcome:
I’ve done the same procedure a lot of times, following manual indications with succes. This seems a bug in the installer.

3.1 migrating to 3.2

As I said, the foreman-installer fails starting “foreman” but also trying to start dynflow-sidekiq@orchestrator and dynflow-sidekiq@worker-1
Here is a brief of their start tries:

I think this is an incompatibility with the foreman_setup plugin that was introduced in

commit 47c9a48f5120cb1732a95a046335848ddbf93c43
Author: Leos Stejskal <lstejska@redhat.com>
Date:   Mon Nov 22 14:16:27 2021 +0100

    Fixes #33967 - Loading constants in initializers/active_record_extensions.rb

See Refactor #33967: Move basic ActiveRecord::Base custom extensions to ApplicationRecord - Foreman

There is a patch for foreman_setup: Remove HostMix include · theforeman/foreman_setup@e9a5593 · GitHub, but it wasn’t released yet.

Can not believe it! It actually works just removing that line!
Thanks a log @evgeni , you saved my life :smiley:
And thanks for the quick response also!
Best regards!

Sometimes it is that easy :wink:

I’ll make sure this gets a release and into the repos, so others won’t hit it too.

Thanks for reporting

FWIW @lzap did release a fixed version and it has landed in both nightly and 3.2 repos, so everyone should be safe now :slight_smile:
