No provisioning templates in dev foreman

Development
1

Hello all,

I'm developing a plugin so that foreman can use Azure Resource Manager, and
I'm at the point where I would like to start deploying some VMs. I've set
up a development environment as described here
<https://www.theforeman.org/contribute.html#Setuptestenvironment>, however
there are no provisioning templates available. When I try to create them,
the "Type" field is empty, and when I try to use the templates plugin
<https://github.com/theforeman/foreman_templates> to sync templates I get
errors about the templates being of an unrecognized type, eg:

Skipping: 'Community Alterator default finish' - Unknown template kind
'finish'
Skipping: 'Community Alterator default' - Unknown template kind 'provision'
Skipping: 'Community Alterator default PXELinux' - Unknown template kind
'PXELinux'
Skipping: 'Community AutoYaST default iPXE' - Unknown template kind 'iPXE'

I assume there's a rake task I need to run or some such, but being
unfamiliar with Foreman itself and only slightly more familiar with RoR
development I thought I'd ask instead of risking trashing my environment.

Platform Configuration:

  • MacOS 10.12.3
  • Ruby 2.1.9
  • Using SQLite db
  • Developing against 1.14-stable
  • Only change to Foreman itself has been to update fog-core to 1.43 to
    satisfy a dependency of fog-azure-rm

Any help is much appreciated

Just double checking, did you rake db:seed ?

Yes, I did that when setting up the environment initially. I assume this
<https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/develop/db/seeds.d/07-provisioning_templates.rb> is
the seed file which populates the DB with the templates and their types? Is
it possible to run that independently of the other seed tasks? If I were to
run db:seed again would it be non-destructive to data I've entered already,
such as compute resources?

Hello,

You can run rake db:seed multiple times and it should always only seed missing
data (non-destructive). If you want to be extra sure, just do the db backup
beforehand. And yes, the file that you linked should create template kinds and
templates.

Hope this helps
