Provisionning alma without CV and LC not possible anymore

Problem: Oops, we’re sorry but something went wrong Lifecycle environment must be specified

Expected outcome: Being able to provision almalinux without using content View and LifeCycle

Foreman and Proxy versions: 3.7.1 with Katello 4.9.2

A few weeks ago, I was able to install almalinux without using Content View and Lifecyle. I was happy with that, because I don’t need them.
Today the foreman behaviour seems to have change, and everytime I’m trying to provision a host with alma i got this error.
Is this normal ?
I can still install Ubuntu without using CV ans Lifecylce, but for how long ? Is it this the way Foreman wants to constrain it’s users to work ?

JF

When you create a host with EL, you can install it from synchronized content. For this, you need to specific versioned content using CV and LE. For Debian/Ubuntu, you cannot install from synchronized content.

Make sure your hostgroup either assigns both CV and LCE, or neither.

Everything is configured to use Default Organization View for LC and Library as CV.

Are the hostgroup(s) assigning activation keys? That’s the only other possibility I can think of.

Otherwise, you could try upgrading to Katello 4.10 and let us know if that improves things.

I made some other tests and the results are :
When I create a new host to build, it works. But if I stop the build, edit the host and then when click on submit, it complains about the lack of LifeCycle. Even if nothing was changed.

I finally upgrade to foreman 3.8 with katello 4.10 and everything works fine.
