Description

Hi,

I would like to update a host location by providing "location_name" by it results in error: Here is a simple curl command I use:

$ curl -s -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k -u hammer:hammer \
  -d '{"host": { "location_name": "mag003"}}' \
  https://foreman.example.com/api/hosts/host.example.com
{
  "error": {"message":"undefined method `id' for nil:NilClass"}
}

When I provide "location_id", it works.

This problem occurs when providing an inexistent location.

In my case, it works if I provide full location_name:

curl -s -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k -u hammer:hammer \
  -d '{"host": { "location_name": "Full/path/to/mag003"}}' \
  https://foreman.example.com/api/hosts/host.example.com
