Chapter 8. 4.5 Release Notes

With this update, you can generate machine-readable files with the status of each RHUI repository. To use this feature, run the following command:

rhui-manager --non-interactive status --repo_json <output file>

With this update, the rhui-manager CLI command uses a variety of unique exit codes to indicate different types of errors. For example, if you attempt to add a Red Hat repository that has already been added, the command will exit with a status of 245. However, if you attempt to add a Red Hat repository that does not exist in the RHUI entitlement, the command will exit with a status of 246.

For a complete list of codes, see the /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rhui/common/rhui_exit_codes.py file.

Previously, when an invalid repository ID was used with the rhui-manager command to synchronize or delete a repository, the command failed with following error:

An unexpected error has occurred during the last operation.

Additionally, a traceback was also logged.

With this update, the error message has been improved and failure to run no longer logs a traceback.

Currently, when you try to upgrade RHUI instances that were deployed before RHEL 8.6, which run Ansible Engine rather than Ansible Core, the installer fails with the following error:

RUNNING HANDLER [Delete the active login session file] ***********************************************************************
[DEPRECATION WARNING]: evaluating 'rhui_active_login_file' as a bare variable, this behaviour will go away and you might need to add |bool to the expression in the future. Also see CONDITIONAL_BARE_VARS configuration toggle. This feature will be removed in version 2.12. Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The conditional check 'rhui_active_login_file' failed. The error was: template error while templating string: unexpected '/'. String: {% if /root/.rhui/http-localhost:24817 %} True {% else %} False {% endif %}\n\nThe error appears to be in '/usr/share/rhui-installer/playbooks/rhua-provision.yml': line 76, column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n    - name: Delete the active login session file\n      ^ here\n"}

To work around this problem, remove the current active logins using the rhui-manager --logout command and then run the rhui-installer --rerun command again.
