Description Adam Williamson 2017-09-05 23:01:05 UTC 
With the latest incarnation of the FreeIPA 4.6.0 update for Fedora 27, tests are looking much better, but there is still a failure in the test which tries to change a user's password via the web UI:

https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/154667#step/freeipa_password_change/18

when the test clicks 'Reset Password' after filling in the dialog, this error appears:

IPA Error 905: CommandError
unknown command 'undefined'

In the Apache error log, I see this:

[Tue Sep 05 18:21:52.809837 2017] [wsgi:error] [pid 7181:tid 140266895476480] [remote 10.0.2.102:39228] ipa: INFO: [jsonserver_session] test3: undefined: CommandError

I suspect this may relate to the changes to get_whoami_command in this commit:

https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/commit/ceedc3f7ecb1300ed5bfaf5db8ef1b1450c6288e

but I'm not 100% sure. It involves javascript, and I hate javascript (plus I can't quite grok the interface between JS and python in the FreeIPA web UI code).
Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2017-09-05 23:04:16 UTC 
Proposing as a Beta blocker. This is part of the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_FreeIPA_password_change test, which is marked as Beta in the matrices. The relevant Beta criterion would be "The core functional requirements for all Featured Server Roles must be met, without any workarounds being necessary.", with the requirements for the domain controller role defined here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Domain_controller_role_requirements

"The FreeIPA configuration web UI must be available and allow at least basic configuration of user accounts and permissions"
Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2017-09-06 00:01:53 UTC 
ab suggested this might be https://pagure.io/freeipa/c/76f217b2893b0604ed0adf372422c685c2febbe8 , but it can't be, because that's already in 4.6.0 release.

Upstream ticket:

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2017-09-06 14:44:51 UTC 
Note, some info was requested:

<ab> adamw: can you show an output from the browser inspection of network traffic sent by the web UI with that 'undefined' command?
<ab> adamw: e.g. ctrl+shift+I in Firefox, then network tab
<ab> I would be interested in seeing what is being sent as json request before and with this call

doing this in openQA is a bit more work than doing it manually, but I'll try and set it up today.
Comment 5 Alexander Bokovoy 2017-09-06 14:46:18 UTC 
Adam, we found the bug, it is now tracked with https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/pull/1044 pull request
Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2017-09-06 14:47:28 UTC 
Awesome, thanks, that saves me some work...
Comment 7 Fedora Update System 2017-09-06 20:21:41 UTC 
389-ds-base-1.3.7.3-1.fc27 freeipa-4.6.0-2.fc27 python-pyldap-2.4.37-2.fc27 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 27. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-a79e85e4d3
Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2017-09-06 21:55:57 UTC 
So at ab's request I backported the patch to the Fedora package and built a 4.6.0-2 and put that into the update; with 4.6.0-2 all the FreeIPA tests pass! So the patch does fix this, thanks.

https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/overview?distri=fedora&version=27&build=Update-FEDORA-2017-a79e85e4d3&groupid=2

the base_services_start failure is unrelated.
