Using @host.provision_interface gives nothing on 1.9

Support
1

I try to write a template and locate my provision interface but foreman
can't figure it out :frowning:
I am following
TemplateWriting - Foreman and
writing <%= @host.provision_interface%>, I get http://pastie.org/10126609 :frowning:

Shouldn't it give me the ethX identifier? I am using
foreman-1.9.0-0.develop.201504270854git4e21396.el7.noarch

To be clear, @host.primary_interface gives me the hostname.

Solved on IRC, sending the outcome - it "gave nothing" because

&lt;%= @host.provision_interface %&gt;

returns the interface object on which ERB calls to_s that equals to "DNS name
of that interface". Michael's DNS name of that interface was empty, that's why
it seemed as it does not return anything.

To get interface identifier the right snippet is

&lt;%= @host.provision_interface.identifier %&gt;

Similarly, one could get to other interface attributes, like IP, MAC, ā€¦

Thanks a lot!
Is there a chance to elaborate on the wiki?
