[CONTROLLER-1117] Error while deleting config:service instance from list (via netconf over restconf)

Thu, 4 Jun 2015 10:40:37 +0000

[I guess this bug is in netconf-connector, but such component is missing from Bugzilla's drop-down list.]

Minor severity, as instead of deleting a service directly, one can delete the backing module instead.

On Helium build, after
feature:install odl-bgpcep-all odl-restconf-noauth odl-netconf-connector-all
there is "example-ipv6-topology" service doing basically nothing:

curl -H "Accept:application/json" 127.0.0.1:8181/restconf/config/opendaylight-inventory:nodes/node/controller-config/yang-ext:mount/config:services/service/odl-topology-api-cfg:topology-reference/instance/example-ipv6-topology
returns:
{"instance":[

{"name":"example-ipv6-topology","provider":"/modules/module[type='bgp-reachability-ipv6'][name='example-ipv6-topology']"}

]}

(There is also example-ipv4-topology item we want to keep.)

Here is an attempt to delete example-ipv6-topology:
curl -v -X DELETE 127.0.0.1:8181/restconf/config/opendaylight-inventory:nodes/node/controller-config/yang-ext:mount/config:services/service/odl-topology-api-cfg:topology-reference/instance/example-ipv6-topology
returns:

Here is an interesting part of karaf.log file:

It looks like RPC has delete operation on 'instance' list, instead of just 'example-ipv6-topology' item.
Am I doing something wrong or is this really a bug?
