Description

When media is not set or not available via taxonomy, we generate error trace:

2016-08-05 12:28:16 [app] [W] Fetch TFTP boot files for mac52540028624f.lab.eng.rdu2.redhat.com task failed with the following error: undefined method `path' for nil:NilClass

We should catch for exceptions in the orchestration code and issue error.

We need to check for StandardError in the setTFTPBootFiles method.

When doing this, put an ERF entry on our wiki with explanation of the error.

This is already implemented in boot_files_uri in #15439, but the stack trace above looks like the issue is introduced by Katello which is not deferring to the original boot_files_uri method containing the safety checks.

I'd suggest whatever checks are in Foreman should be applied to Katello, or it should call, not override, the original method.

Oh right, I had this feeling I was fixing this already! Thanks. Over to Katello folks! Easy one.

For the record, the required change is to run through these checks when overriding the method: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/3597/files
