Bug description:
[ Impact ]
The output of `pro status` on non-LTS releases was confusing. It didn't
clearly describe that no services are available.
The fix is to show a message when there are no available services for
a machine.
[ Test Plan ]
To reproduce:
- attach a non-lts machine
- run `pro status`
- see the confusing output
To see the fix (once it's available)
- attach a non-lts machine
- run `pro status`
- see the message: "No Ubuntu Pro services are available to this system."
This is covered by an automated test in the pro-client test suite,
defined here: https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-pro-
client/blob/28.1/features/attach_validtoken.feature#L8
[ Where problems could occur ]
This change touches the `status` command, which is widely used. If something
goes wrong, it could break `pro status` in some circumstances.
Or, if users were relying on the previous version of the output in
some way, then they will be disappointed. Note: the pro-client team
does not consider the human-readable output of `pro status` to be
stable and we discourage people from relying on it. In the future it
will change even more.
[ Other Info ]
Notice that the message doesn't say that there are no Pro services on non-LTS
releases. That is because of two things:
1. There may be Pro services available on non-lts releases in the future
2. There are situations where no services are available on LTS release (e.g.
on ppc64el machines)
[ Original Description ]
I'm currently in Kinetic (22.10) and used my private free token to enable pro
with:
$ sudo pro attach MYTOKEN
Unable to determine current instance-id
This machine is now attached to 'Ubuntu Pro - free personal subscription'
SERVICE ENTITLED STATUS DESCRIPTION
NOTICES
Operation in progress: pro attach
Enable services with: pro enable <service>
Account: x...@xxx.xxx
Subscription: Ubuntu Pro - free personal subscription
Same result when doing "pro status". This is missleading. There should
be a warning or something that mentions that Pro is only for LTS
releases.
