Description

When creating a Smart Class Parameter, I am able to over ride the default value, set type to yaml and input validated yaml into the default value box.

If I then add a matcher-value combination of hostgroup = engineering and try to override with yaml it fails to save. I am however able to set the value to a simple value (ie: string). There are no errors reported in the foreman log.

I am running version 1.1stable on CentOS v6.

Same problem here with foreman 1.2 (latest) on Scientific Linux 6.4. It is possible to save the document if specifying 'hash' instead of 'yaml' (and 'string' would work as well I guess).

Are you able to specify complex data structures using string or hash? I was using yaml to define an array with embedded hashes, which in turn contain arrays.

As an example I had the following in JSON:

{"pam_files":["system-auth-ac","password-auth-ac"],"access_control_list":[{"comment":"User root should be allowed to get access via cron .. tty5 tty6","permission":"+","name":"root","origins":["cron","crond",":0","tty1","tty2","tty3","tty4","tty5","tty6"]}]}

Not being able to over-ride is kind of a big issue for me right now. This above data structure is used in a module that configures the /etc/security/access.conf file. I was trying to over-ride it based on the hostgroup (each hostgroup represents a specific department).

This bug is still open, right? I had this issue on 1.2.2 and now also 1.3.0 with yaml and hashes, whether nested or just one level deep. Right now I'm using heira as a "workaround", but would prefer to have my data all in Foreman.

Actually, looks like I was entering hashes incorrectly. I was using JSON format, but it seems Foreman expects a hash as yaml, e.g.:

node: 
  network: 
    host: 127.0.0.1
  index: 
    number_of_shards: 5
    number_of_replicas: 0
  path:
    data: /usr/local/elasticsearch/data

This sounds different than the problem described in this issue.

An error message would be helpful when submitting changes to class parameters if they fail. Currently, it just redirects to the same edit page with no message. FYI when I set log_level to debug, I see this in the logs:

#<OrderedHash {:"class_params.default_value"=>["is invalid"]}>

This is probably my biggest aggravation with foreman. An error message in the UI would be invaluable in helping to determine what the issue is.

I've sent a patch in the related issue #3889, if you get the chance to try it. I haven't tried reproducing this YAML issue yet, but at least that small patch should cause validation errors to be displayed in the UI.

Hi, I'm hitting the same issue in foreman 1.3.2:

i can add below yaml to override default value, but when i'm trying to add the yaml as an hostgroup match it fails to save.
