Description

since version 1.11.x the :subnet: definition in foreman-proxy dhcp settings is no longer optional.

Below config was migrated during one of the earlier updates:

~]# cat /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d/dhcp.yml 
--- 
:enabled: https
:use_provider: dhcp_isc

Default config from package:
---
# Can be true, false, or http/https to enable just one of the protocols
:enabled: false

# valid providers:
#   - dhcp_isc (ISC dhcp server)
#   - dhcp_native_ms (Microsoft native implementation)
#   - dhcp_virsh (simple implementation for libvirt)
#:use_provider: dhcp_isc
#:server: 127.0.0.1
# subnets restricts the subnets queried to a subset, to reduce the query time.
#:subnets: [192.168.205.0/255.255.255.128, 192.168.205.128/255.255.255.128]

Adding to /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d/dhcp.yml:

:subnets: [192.168.205.0/255.255.255.128, 192.168.205.128/255.255.255.128]

Restart foreman-proxy:

I, [2016-05-23T16:16:09.896015 #4578]  INFO -- : Finished initialization of module 'dhcp'

The manual isn't very clear on this:

All available subnets will be loaded and can be managed by default, but this can have a performance penalty. If only some subnets are used, specify them as follows in network_address/network_mask notation:

:subnets: [192.168.205.0/255.255.255.128, 192.168.205.128/255.255.255.128]

I can't reproduce this with the example file, only by adding an empty subnets parameter to the config.

With:

---
# Enable DHCP management
# Can be true, false, or http/https to enable just one of the protocols
:enabled: true

# valid providers:
#   - dhcp_isc (ISC dhcp server)
#   - dhcp_native_ms (Microsoft native implementation)
#   - dhcp_virsh (simple implementation for libvirt)
:use_provider: dhcp_isc
:server: 127.0.0.1
# subnets restricts the subnets queried to a subset, to reduce the query time.
#:subnets: [192.168.205.0/255.255.255.128, 192.168.205.128/255.255.255.128]

The server starts fine:

I, [2016-05-24T13:05:59.120879 #23459]  INFO -- : 'dhcp_isc' settings were initialized with default values: :enabled: false
I, [2016-05-24T13:05:59.136856 #23459]  INFO -- : Finished initialization of module 'dhcp_isc'
I, [2016-05-24T13:05:59.136996 #23459]  INFO -- : 'dhcp' settings were initialized with default values: :subnets: []
I, [2016-05-24T13:05:59.139348 #23459]  INFO -- : Finished initialization of module 'dhcp'

It also logs that the default value of [] is used, which isn't in the bug report, so I think what was actually in the config file was probably this:

# subnets restricts the subnets queried to a subset, to reduce the query time.
#:subnets: [192.168.205.0/255.255.255.128, 192.168.205.128/255.255.255.128]
:subnets:

causing:

 `<main>'"]

The setting is optional, in that it doesn't have to be specified, but if it is present in the config then it must be set to a value.

(Edit: to be clear, this is a change in behaviour, but I think it's working reasonably and correctly. The default config appears to work fine, it's only if the setting is there but not properly set.)

#15240 has narrowed down the problem to affecting only Ruby 1.8.7 installations (I used something much newer above), we'll track a fix under that ticket instead. Thanks for the report!
