Description

When deleting a installation media that's associated to a host or host group, the deletion fails.

Actual results:
Error, installation medium is not deleted.

Expected results:
Hosts and Host Groups are un-associated to the install media and the install media is deleted.

Additional info:

Current work around is to unassociate that install media from any host or host groups in foreman and re-try the promotion.

Error in foreman:

History

#1 Updated by Dominic Cleal over 9 years ago

We need to consider the user experience thoroughly without just changing the association to nullify. For example, the host edit page doesn't have an allow_blank on the install media selection, so it appears that the install media is actually selected when it isn't.

Perhaps we should block deletion when there are associated hosts in build mode?

Perhaps we should ensure the user gets a good error message when they put a host into build mode that's missing install media? (I haven't checked)
