Brief description of the problem

[write here]

Today I purchased an annual subscription to support Rockstar, and attempted to enter the activation code you sent via email but received an error message.

        Traceback (most recent call last):

File “/opt/rockstor/src/rockstor/rest_framework_custom/generic_view.py”, line 41, in _handle_exception
yield
File “/opt/rockstor/src/rockstor/storageadmin/views/update_subscription.py”, line 93, in post
stableo = self._toggle_repos(password=password)
File “/opt/rockstor/src/rockstor/storageadmin/views/update_subscription.py”, line 72, in _toggle_repos
).format(ono.password, appliance.uuid)
UnboundLocalError: local variable ‘appliance’ referenced before assignment

I am at loss on how to set up my Rockstor server to receive stable updates. . .

@MarkMayberry I’ve now responded to your support email regarding this failure.

In this case we have an inelegace where we error out sometimes with mismatched credentials. I’ve detailed what I think is happening here regarding your specific details.

Hope that helps, and best we continue re the specifics in support email. I’ve sent instructions regarding what I think is a-miss in your new registration.

Thanks again for helping to support our non-profit development.

We saw this type of inelegance before more recently I thought. I seem to remember you chasing it down a little! Any pointers? As this is a bad show when there is just an App ID/activation-code miss-match!

We have some tests for this also!

Cheers.

@phillxnet, the only one I can think of that I was involved with a bit was around the Active Directory:

so similar, but different …

a few years ago you worked through a similar issue (but in the CentOS space), where the same error was reported:

that one is the closest I can see, but since that moved to PM at some point (for data privacy reasons) I don’t know how that was resolved.
