Uploading rpm fails with error: Invalid unit type for repository
Description
Description of problem:
When uploading an rpm file to a pulp repo, it fails with: Invalid unit type for repository
I have two pulp servers: a parent and a child node. This only happens when uploading to repository "foo" on the child node. I think this is because Repository "foo" on the child has "yum_importer" as the Importer type, whereas the parent has "nodes_http_importer".
It is not clear in the documentation what these various importer plugins are or how to update an existing repo to change which importer is used.
The better solution for me is to upload to the parent and sync the repo to the child node, but that takes forever since I have so many repositories, and in 2.3 it seems I cannot specify a single repository (i.e. --repo-id) in the sync. Looks like that feature has been added in 2.4.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pulp 2.3.1
CentOS 6.5
How reproducible:
every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
me@child:~> pulp-admin rpm repo uploads rpm --repo-id=foo --file=serf-custom-1.3.5-1.x86_64.rpm

When you sync a repo to a child node, you cannot upload content to that repo on the child.
That said, pulp should have a better error message. We are leaving this bug report open pending an improved user experience.

When you sync a repo to a child node, you cannot upload content to that repo
on the child.
Good to know. I would expect that to be the case. This sentence made me think I could do such a thing:
It is important to understand that a child node is a complete and fully functional Pulp server capable of operating autonomously. (per https://pulp-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/pulp-2.3/nodes.html)
An improved error message in this case would be perfect though, thanks.
