Description

In a local openQA instance, still managed with templates.json
I inadvertently saved as YAML the PowerPC job group via openQA UI.

On subsequent use of load_templates there was an unexpected "uninitialized value in string" error.

$/usr/share/openqa/script/load_templates --clean /tmp/mytemplate.json
...
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/share/openqa/script/load_templates line 137.
Bad Request: Group Fedora PowerPC must be updated through the YAML template at /usr/share/openqa/script/load_templates line 139.

1- I do not understand what is wrong with "reftype $json_err eq 'ARRAY';"
https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/blob/master/script/load_templates#L137
2- Is there a way to clean my openQA local instance to remove the yaml saved data to be able to continue to use json templates ?

What did you use for /tmp/mytemplate.json?

I wonder how $json_err could even be undefined here, within the if. But the unit test for load_templates is pretty basic so it probbly doesn't cover this case.

But reftype $json_err might be undef. I would suggest to simply use ref here instead. It will return an empty string if $json_err is not a reference.

It would look like this: https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/3615

https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/3615 looks good and should as an alternative cover what was proposed in #80662#note-1 . It's merged. The next openSUSE package from devel:openQA should have that fix included.

@michel_mno please let us know if the above code change fixes the problem for you or if this just leads us to any underlying further problem.

I confirm pr#3615 code change is fixing my problem.

$/usr/share/openqa/script/load_templates --clean /tmp/templates.json >/tmp/x2
Bad Request: Group Fedora PowerPC must be updated through the YAML template at /usr/share/openqa/script/load_templates line 138.

so change status to resolved.
