RHUI entitlement creation fails with traceback

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Update Infrastructure

Issue

  • Going through the following rhui-manager menu options:
rhui (home) => e
rhui (client) => e
Select the CDS cluster that clients using this entitlement certificate will use to download content
  • However I am getting the following python traceback in /root/.rhui/rhui.log when trying to generate an entitlement certificate:
Unexpected error caught at the shell level
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rhui/tools/shell.py", line 86, in safe_listen
    self.listen(clear=first_run)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rhui/tools/shell.py", line 112, in listen
    Shell.listen(self)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rhui/common/shell.py", line 186, in listen
    item.func(*args, **item.kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rhui/tools/screens/client.py", line 81, in generate
    ent_repo_mappings = self.pulp.custom_repo_entitlements()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rhui/tools/pulp_api.py", line 881, in custom_repo_entitlements
    repo_path = repo['notes'][ENTITLEMENT_PATH]
KeyError: 'entitlement-path'

Resolution

The traceback was triggered because the 'entitlement-path' key-value pair was not set. After creating the repo, run the following command to add a note and the entitlement-path:

# pulp-admin repo add_note --id <repo-note> --key entitlement-path --value <repo-entitlement-path>

Root Cause

  • During prompts to create a custom repository, it is important to ensure proper selection of values when choosing to either provide the repository via an entitlement or not.
