Description

On pulp 3, Using the generated swagger bindings, i was unable to fetch my repositories, throwing:

ArgumentError: invalid value for "description", the character length must be great than or equal to 1.

The problem was that my repositories had a 'null' description, but the api is not returning null, its returning empty string (""). There seems to be some validation on the model side of the apipie bindings that is getting tripped up on this.

The client side check that its doing is:

      if !description.nil? && description.to_s.length < 1
        fail ArgumentError, 'invalid value for "description", the character length must be great than or equal to 1.'
      end
