Foreman REST API - Unable to update hostgroup

Support

Hi Ohad

this messages is gone but no data will be changed

Processing HostgroupsController#update (for 10.129.59.53 at 2013-01-09
16:06:48) [PUT]
Parameters: {"id"=>"102", "controller"=>"hostgroups", "action"=>"update",
"_json"=>"name=apitest&parameters=apit_appl_version&parameters=apit_java_version&environment=id&enviro
nment=name&label=apitest&hypervisor_id=&id=102"}
Completed in 21ms (View: 6, DB: 5) | 200 OK
[https://puppet.emea.porsche.biz/foreman/hostgroups/102/]

I got a respone HTTP/1.1 200 OK but nothing is changed

{"hostgroup":{"vcpu":null,"memory":null,"environment":{"id":4,"name":"development"},"hypervisor_id":"","parameters":{"apit_appl_version":"0.0.1","apit_java_version":"1.6.31"},"subnet_id":null,"id":102,"disk_size":null,"operatingsystem_id":null,"network_type":null,"classes":[],"domain_id":null,"interface":null,"label":"apitest","name":"apitest","storage_pool":null}}

I expect "apit_java_version":"1.7.31"

The json object looks like

{'hostgroup':
{'parameters':
{'apit_appl_version': u'0.0.1',
'apit_java_version': '1.7.1'
}
}
}

I also tried with the full hostgroup object but got the same result.
Due to I do not have any error messages in the look, I feel blind… :frowning:

Looking at how rails parse your request seems wrong

it looks like you send a _json variable with json, instead of accepting it
into the hostgroups hash.

my guess your json format is wrong, how about takign the existing json
response and keep only the values you need and send it back?

Hi Ohad

You're right.

I modified the original json object and now I face

The original json object ( python json object) is

orig json object: {u'operatingsystem_id': None, u'disk_size': None,

u'name': u'apitest', u'parameters': {u'apit_appl_version': u'0.0.1',
u'apit_java_version': u'1.6.31'}, u'vcpu': None, u'network_type': None,
u'environment': {u'id': 4, u'name': u'development'}, u'subnet_id': None,
u'classes': [], u'storage_pool': None, u'domain_id': None, u'memory': None,
u'interface': None, u'label': u'apitest', u'hypervisor_id': u'', u'id': 102}

parameters should be a valid attribute…
