Puppet Class Importer fails to update parameters: undefined method `override' for nil:NilClass

[SebbiUltimate]

When I try to import the puppet environments, I get the error "undefined method `override' for nil:NilClass".
Beginning of Backtrace:

2024-03-02T00:21:03 [I|app|92f6450f] Backtrace for 'Failed to calculate obsolete and new' error (NoMethodError): undefined method override' for nil:NilClass

It seems that the parameters cannot be found in the lookup_keys table even though they exist.

When I replace the line
key = db_class.class_params.find_by key: param_name
in puppet_class_importer.rb L275 with
key = db_class.class_params.where("key like ?", param_name)
it works.

Hi @SebbiUltimate, I cannot reproduce it, can you please describe more detailed the configuration of your system and how you tried to import the environment?

[SebbiUltimate]

I think it happens when the default values of puppet class parameters change. So the parameter already exists in the lookup_keys table but has another default value. Then this function update_parameter gets called but doesn't find the record in the table. After changing this line, it works.

@SebbiUltimate Can you please share the exact steps to reproduce with example classes you import?
Without it, it's hard to debug the issue.

[SebbiUltimate]

I couldn't reproduce it using a new puppet sample class.

But when I update classes like keystone::ldap, it get the error.

I added more logging:

 def update_parameter(db_class, changed_params)
      changed_params['updated'].each do |param_name, value|
        key = db_class.class_params.find_by key: param_name
        db_class.class_params.map do |dbcp|
                Foreman::Logging.logger('app').info "dbcp.key=#{dbcp.key}!"
        end
        Foreman::Logging.logger('app').info "update_parameter: key not found! class=#{db_class.name}! param_name=#{param_name}!" if key.nil?
        next unless key.override == false
        key.default_value = value
        key.key_type = nil
        key.validator_type = nil
        key.save!(context: :importer)
      end
    end

As you can see in the output, the parameter group_filter ist existing, but find_by cannot find it.
