Anthony,
Do you have any stack traces to help us locate where in the code or what situation is causing enabled_repos_upload to fail when you run puppet?

Anthony,
I believe this is a valid Puppet bug and not an issue with our yum plugin. Examining the issue, the yum plugin we provide is outputting to stdout information that is valid for a yum plugin to do IMO. The bug is in the puppet yum parsing code not handling this potential for yum plugins to output information. Check this:
1.2.7-17.el7 base Uploading Enabled Reposistories Error: Could not get latest version: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/provider/package/yum.rb:114:in `update_to_hash'
You can see its trying to include and parse the data coming from the plugin. Further, if you run the same command puppet is running 'yum check-update' you can see this at the bottom:
Uploading Enabled Reposistories Report Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, product-id Cannot upload enabled repos report, is this client registered?
Where the "Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, product-id" is valid output from yum regarding plugins. Puppet should be handling this properly IMO. I am going to set this to rejected but I would encourage you to feed this back to puppet so that it gets fixed properly.

Sorry, just to give you a little more info, I think this is a regression from Puppet 3.
[root@l7 vagrant]# rpm -q puppet
puppet-3.8.6-4.el7sat.noarch
[root@l7 vagrant]# puppet resource package kernel ensure=latest --trace
package { 'kernel':
ensure => '3.10.0-693.el7',
}

Thank you Eric. Yes this is a regression, was not sure on which side as I've updated both Katello and Puppet. I've updated the bug on puppet side with this info.

Apparently PE also suffers from this issue. I attempted to fix this myself [1]. Hopefully I'll get some feedback and can iterate to get a fix in. Then we just need to press on them for a release that includes in. I found that locally you can work around this by adjusting your yum.conf debuglevel:
Open /etc/yum.conf
debuglevel=1
This will still break if there are errors coming from a yum plugin, but not if everything is operational. You'd have to apply this update to all your clients that are hitting the issue.

Thanks for the workaround, it works fine. Hope your fix will be merged soon.
