Plugins » Katello

Katello provides 3 ways to give a url to contact Hosted Candlepin, in order:
1. (For devel environments only) you can use the environment variable REDHAT_RHSM_API_URL.
2. If your organization's upstream consumer has a value for 'apiUrl', it uses that.
3. Finally, it falls back to hard-coded URLs.

We can see the format of the expected URL by looking at the hard-coded ones:

In Glue::Provider:
API_URL = 'https://subscription.rhsm.redhat.com/subscription/consumers/'.freeze

But in Katello::Resources::Candlepin::UpstreamJob it doesn't append '/consumers/':
API_URL = 'https://subscription.rhsm.redhat.com/subscription'.freeze

The result is that if the upstream consumer in your manifest has an apiUrl that appends the '/consumers/' path, calls from Glue::Provider will succeed but calls to UpstreamJob will fail. But if your manifest does NOT append the '/consumers/' path, calls from Glue::Provider will fail and calls to UpstreamJob will succeed.

Katello needs to handle adding or subtracting the '/consumers/' as needed.
