Bug #11975

Unable to generate full image on fresh install: undefined method `encoding' for nil:NilClass
Description
On Debian Jessie, a default Foreman 1.9.2 installation with bootdisk-plugin 6.0.0 gives the following error:
ERF42-8894 [Foreman::Exception]: Unable to generate disk template: Failed to generate PXELinux template: undefined method `encoding' for nil:NilClass
The new host is linked to an OS definition for Debian 8.2 with the unchanged Preseed default, finish and default iPXE templates (for testing purposes).
Adding Preseed user data does not change test result. All defined package dependencies are matched, syslinux-images are correctly set up. Host and generic images are rendered fine, but not tested for function so far.
The corresponding stack trace:
- Invoke bootdisk:generate:full_host (first_time)
- Invoke environment (first_time)
- Execute environment
- Execute bootdisk:generate:full_host
[deprecated] I18n.enforce_available_locales will default to true in the future. If you really want to skip validation of your locale you can set I18n.enforce_available_locales = false to avoid this message.
rake aborted!

If you load the host page, click Templates on the left and then Review next to the PXELinux template, does it display OK there?
Updated by Marcel Vapore over 8 years ago
The template renders fine there.
By testing some more combinations, it seems, as if only the PXELinux template is processed, if available. If it is missing, I'll get the above errors. If I include it, alone or besides iPXE, the iPXE template is ignored and no errors occur.
Maybe the foreman installer left enough traces of TFTP and Smartproxy for the plugin to assume a full up and running provisioning infrastructure?
