Description

On a brand new install of 2.8.0, I went into the web interface, and modified the config of the change message (that is the message that is displayed to users). I don't know if this is relevant, but I thought it worth mentioning. I did not enable Change Requests, or change any other configs.

Then, I created a Directive (from Technique "zypperPackageManagerSettings" version 1.0, in case that matters), this worked fine. The exact technical details from the event log are:

<entry>
  <directive fileFormat="4" changeType="add">
    <id>90d9c3fe-97a1-47ca-8f48-610abe0ecd94</id>
    <displayName>DSDSDS</displayName>
    <techniqueName>zypperPackageManagerSettings</techniqueName>
    <techniqueVersion>1.0</techniqueVersion>
    <section name="sections">
      <section name="General settings">
        <var name="ZYPPER_INSTALLRECOMMENDS">dontchange</var>
      </section>
      <section name="Repository settings">
        <var name="ZYPPER_ADDREPOSITORIES">false</var>
        <var name="ZYPPER_DISABLEREPOSITORIES">false</var>
        <section name="Repository">
          <var name="ZYPPER_ENABLED">1</var>
          <var name="ZYPPER_NAME"/>
          <var name="ZYPPER_TYPE">yast2</var>
          <var name="ZYPPER_URL"/>
        </section>
      </section>
    </section>
    <shortDescription/>
    <longDescription/>
    <priority>5</priority>
    <isEnabled>true</isEnabled>
    <isSystem>false</isSystem>
  </directive>
</entry>

Then, I deleted the Directive. I got a change message dialog box, filled it and pressed save (no problem so far). Then, I saw a rule generation start, and I got a "Cannot contact server at this time" dialog box.

Since then, I have two symptoms something is wrong:

  1. The rule generation never finishes, it is continually "generation"
  2. I noticed this in the logs:
[2013-11-07 19:26:15] INFO  com.normation.rudder.services.servers.NodeConfigurationServiceImpl - Configuration of following nodes were updated, their promises are going to be written: root
[2013-11-07 19:26:24] INFO  changeRequest - Saving and deploying change request 1
[2013-11-07 19:26:29] INFO  changeRequest - Saving and deploying change request 2
[2013-11-07 19:26:29] ERROR com.normation.rudder.web.components.popup.ModificationValidationPopup - Exception when trying to update a change request:: Error when deleting policy instanc with ID DirectiveId(90d9c3fe-97a1-47ca-8f48-610abe0ecd94). All dependent rules where deleted  ().

I assume that "change request 1" was when I created the Directive, and "change request 2" was when I deleted it. However, change requests are not enabled, so there is obviously something wrong here (or else the log messages are extremely misleading and should be changed).

I have not continued to test, in case showing the current state to a developer may help debug this problem. I'm keeping the VM in a safe place in it's broken status.
