[Bug 2076233] Re: AttributeError: 'Report' object has no attribute 'add_tags'

[Olivier Gayot]

I am able to consistently reproduce with the following on the oracular
daily image:

autoinstall:
  early-commands:
    - /bin/false

However, the exception only shows in the journal so it isn't easy to
notice.

But there is something more when I try on noble-daily. the exception
does not happen, but the screen gets stuck showing:

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sorry, an unknown error occurred.
|
| Information is being collected form the system that will help the developers diagnose the report.
|
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My understanding is that this happens because the installer is stuck
trying to retrieve the MD5check result using GET /integrity

However, just like most controllers endpoints, /integrity blocks until
all controllers are started - which does not happen when an error occurs
during early-commands. I will file a separate bug for the integrity
issue ; but fixing it seems to trigger the exception (from this bug
report) to happen on noble too.

Title:
  AttributeError: 'Report' object has no attribute 'add_tags'

Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When testing things on oracular, I ran into this exception after a
  late-commands failed:

  ERROR: hook /usr/share/apport/general-hooks/ubuntu.py crashed
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/snap/subiquity/5988/usr/lib/python3/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 228, in _run_hook
      symb['add_info'](report, ui)
    File "/usr/share/apport/general-hook/ubuntu.py", line 34, in add_info
      _add_release_info(report)
    File "/usr/share/apport/general-hooks/ubuntu.py", line 472, in _add_release_info
      report.add_tags([release_codename])
  AttributeError: 'Report' object has no attribute 'add_tags'.

  This seems to happen because the Report class in core22
  (/snap/subiquity/.../report.py) does not define an add_tags method ;
  but the hooks in oracular expect the method to exist.

  This might not be limited to oracular ; and could be a thing in noble
  too?
