Foreman 2.5.2 Katello 4.1.2.1 - hammer host errata recalculate doesn't work

Support
1

Problem:
hammer host errata recalculate doesn’t work on Foreman 2.5.2 + Katello 4.1.2.1

Expected outcome:
Not expecting an error, that’s for sure. If I had a working version of Katello installed, I would provide an example output.

Foreman and Proxy versions:
Foreman 2.5.2

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
Katello 4.1.2.1

Distribution and version:
CentOS Stream 8
Last updated on Aug 16, 2021
Active kernel 4.18.0-326.el8.x86_64

Other relevant data:

hammer host errata recalculate --host-id 46
Could not recalculate errata:
  Error: Please mention appropriate attribute value
  
  See: 'hammer host errata recalculate --help'.

I’ve verified host-id is valid and even tried name instead of id. Still doesn’t work.

It looks like the api request to Katello is working correctly, just the hammer command is not returning the results etc correctly. I can see the api request come into katello and the task complete here from looking at the production.log

I will take a look and see how we can get hammer fixed for you.

If I pass in --async we can see it completes ok, just does not return a task id:

Errata recalculated with task %{id}.

I will open an issue and link it here in this comment, so we can look into it further.
