events Rest API changes in v1.12

[KKoukiou]

Previously this used to work, now it returns this error:

# curl -s --unix-socket /run/podman/podman.sock http://d/v1.12/events
{"cause":"unexpected end of JSON input","message":"Failed to parse parameters for /v1.12/events: unexpected end of JSON input","response":400}

Tested with podman-2.0.3-1.module+el8.3.0+7450+9ea086fe.x86_64

(breaks RHEL-8-3 gating)

Ok that is bad.

I am wondering if this was the parameter type change from @vrothberg from map[string][]stiring to map[string]map[string]bool for Docker compat.

I'm also curious as to why the Docker endpoint is being used here - thought Cockpit was using our endpoints?

[vrothberg]

I've tested it with Docker but will take a look right now.

This was the last one where we used compat one, now we switched to libpod one - cockpit-project/cockpit-podman#456

However it is broken in both:

$ sudo curl -s --unix-socket /run/podman/podman.sock http://d/v1.12/events
{"cause":"unexpected end of JSON input","message":"Failed to parse parameters for /v1.12/events: unexpected end of JSON input","response":400}
$ sudo curl -s --unix-socket /run/podman/podman.sock http://d/v1.12/libpod/events
{"cause":"unexpected end of JSON input","message":"Failed to parse parameters for /v1.12/libpod/events: unexpected end of JSON input","response":400}

I updated podman yesterday from fedora repos and now cannot use c-podman at all.

$ rpm -q podman
podman-2.0.3-1.fc32.x86_64

Thanks, @marusak!

[martinpitt]

Can you please make a new release with this? 2.0.3 now made it into Fedora 32 as well, and it's completely breaking cockpit-podman. Thanks!

[marusak]

FWIV we already got report about that in cockpit-project/cockpit-podman#469, our test image refresh is blocked due to that in cockpit-project/bots#1109 and every team member who touched c-podman in last week had problem with this. I suspect that more people will hit this problem as they update podman in their fedoras (and we even now start to support debian, where is also broken version 2.0.3)

[vrothberg]

We're on it. Just wrapped up other backports in #7166.
