Hi Guys, Thanks for the quick responses!
Firstly, just to confirm that this affects *all* snippets that are used per_profile (I used a blank one as an example to show there was no parse error in the actual snippet. This includes snippets with 0 length, snippets with just a comment in them and 'normal' snippets.) Secondly, i'm afraid that Michaels two patches do not fix this. To reproduce the problem, install the epel testing RPM on a clean install of CentOS 5.3, create a kickstart file that includes a snippet and create that snippet in the per_profile directory. I've done it on a second clean install. The difference that the first patch makes is as follows: Old error (data_out = str(t)) [r...@cobbler partition]# cobbler system getks --name=test # *** ERROR *** # # There is a templating error preventing this file from rendering correctly. # # This is most likely not due to a bug in Cobbler and is something you can fix. # # Look at the message below to see what things are causing problems. # # (1) Does the template file reference a $variable that is not defined? # (2) is there a formatting error in a Cheetah directive? # (3) Should dollar signs ($) be escaped that are not being escaped? # # Try fixing the problem and then investigate to see if this message goes # away or changes. # # # module.__init__() argument 1 must be string, not unicode # File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/templar.py", line 115, in render # data_out = str(t) # # File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/Cheetah/Template.py", line 982, in __str__ # def __str__(self): return getattr(self, mainMethName)() # # File "cheetah_DynamicallyCompiledCheetahTemplate_1241216798_86_94239.py", line 174, in respond # # File "cheetah_DynamicallyCompiledCheetahTemplate_1241216798_86_94239.py", line 92, in __errorCatcher4 # # File "<string>", line 0, in ? # # File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/template_api.py", line 156, in SNIPPET # result = BuiltinTemplate.SNIPPET(self, file) # # File "DynamicallyCompiledCheetahTemplate.py", line 89, in SNIPPET # # File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/Cheetah/Template.py", line 1512, in _handleCheetahInclude # nestedTemplateClass = compiler.compile(source=source,file=file) # # File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/template_api.py", line 124, in compile # return Cheetah.Template.Template.compile(*args, **kwargs) # # File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/Cheetah/Template.py", line 754, in compile # mod = new.module(uniqueModuleName) # New patch (data_out = t.respond()) [r...@cobbler partition]# cobbler system getks --name=test # *** ERROR *** # # There is a templating error preventing this file from rendering correctly. # # This is most likely not due to a bug in Cobbler and is something you can fix. # # Look at the message below to see what things are causing problems. # # (1) Does the template file reference a $variable that is not defined? # (2) is there a formatting error in a Cheetah directive? # (3) Should dollar signs ($) be escaped that are not being escaped? # # Try fixing the problem and then investigate to see if this message goes # away or changes. # # # module.__init__() argument 1 must be string, not unicode # File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/templar.py", line 116, in render # data_out = t.respond() # # File "cheetah_DynamicallyCompiledCheetahTemplate_1241216747_29_15519.py", line 174, in respond # # File "cheetah_DynamicallyCompiledCheetahTemplate_1241216747_29_15519.py", line 92, in __errorCatcher4 # # File "<string>", line 0, in ? # # File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/template_api.py", line 156, in SNIPPET # result = BuiltinTemplate.SNIPPET(self, file) # # File "DynamicallyCompiledCheetahTemplate.py", line 89, in SNIPPET # # File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/Cheetah/Template.py", line 1512, in _handleCheetahInclude # nestedTemplateClass = compiler.compile(source=source,file=file) # # File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/template_api.py", line 124, in compile # return Cheetah.Template.Template.compile(*args, **kwargs) # # File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/Cheetah/Template.py", line 754, in compile # mod = new.module(uniqueModuleName) # I'm happy to do anything to help - is there anything useful I can send you?
