[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk snippet will not be replaced while cobbler does

[Jérôme Meyer]

Hi All,

I've analysed this error more in details and found that the spacewalk didn't replaced this SNIPPET variable during the creation and for this reason the installation hanged.

$SNIPPET('spacewalk/1/part_'+$server_type)

This variable was ok in the past before the upgrade to 2.8.
Has anyone encounter this issue?
How could I troubleshoot such an error?

Best regards, J.

Hello,

Spacewalk (2.8) didn't replace the $SNIPPET with his value and stopped the process with unknown command.
I've checked the kickstart file through URL link :   http://spacewalk/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/ks_profile_centos7_dev:1:SpacewalkDefaultOrganization

But when I check the kickstart profile with cobbler, all seems ok :

# cobbler system getks --name=chlxserver | more

The configuration are done through spacewalk GUI.
Have someone seen this problem before?
