Pulp

Detailed Description¶

Pulp provides REST API at https://docs.pulpproject.org/en/2.21/dev-guide/integration/rest-api/index.html for manipulation users, repositories, content and such.

For Search API https://docs.pulpproject.org/en/2.21/dev-guide/conventions/criteria.html#search-api, pulp provides two options:

• POST request with criteria object
• GET request with query arguments

Bug¶

When searching for units https://docs.pulpproject.org/en/2.21/dev-guide/integration/rest-api/repo/content.html#advanced-unit-search, using GET request it raises error:

Request -> HOSTED_PULP_URL/repositories/external-centos-6-staging/search/units/?field=id&field=display_name&limit=20

Response:

{
   "http_request_method":"GET",
   "exception":[
      "TypeError: pop() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)\n"
   ],
   "error_message":"pop() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)",
   "_href":"/pulp/api/v2/repositories/external-centos-6-staging/search/units/?field=id&field=display_name&limit=20",
   "http_status":500,
   "traceback":[

      "  File \"/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pulp/server/webservices/views/decorators.py\", line 195, in _verify_auth\n    value = method(self, *args, **kwargs)\n",
      "  File \"/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pulp/server/webservices/views/search.py\", line 108, in get\n    return self._generate_response(query, options, *args, **kwargs)\n",
      "  File \"/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pulp/server/webservices/views/repositories.py\", line 285, in _generate_response\n    criteria = UnitAssociationCriteria.from_client_input(query)\n",
      "  File \"/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pulp/server/db/model/criteria.py\", line 286, in from_client_input\n    association_fields = _validate_fields(fields.pop('association', None))\n"
   ]
}

Specifying without field works, even though documentation provides example of using field as query argument.

As for Search using POST request, criteria seems ignored and return everything.

Example critera:

{
  "criteria": {
    "fields": {
      "unit": [
        "name",
        "version"
      ]
    },
    "type_ids": [
      "rpm"
    ],
    "limit": 1
  }
}

Response: Everything (criteria is ignored)

Maybe I'm missing something, but we are not able to get fields we require since the whole output is huge and it downgrades our user experience.

Thank you.
