Hosted: POST and PUT /groups accept users, clients or groups but do nothing with them

[jkeiser]

POST /groups accepts "users", "clients" and "groups" as input (does not throw a 400), but does not populate them. PUT /groups/x does the same, even returning them from the request. This appears to be at least a partial cause of chef/cheffish#90 .

When I have an org named essentials and a file x.json:

{
  "users": [
    "jkeiser"
  ],
  "clients": [
    "essentials-validator"
  ],
  "groups": [
    "admins"
  ],
  "orgname": "essentials",
  "name": "x",
  "groupname": "x"
}

I see the following:

jkeiser@Ettores-MacBook-Pro-2 ~/e/essentials> knife raw -m POST /groups -i x.json
{
  "uri": "https://api.opscode.com/organizations/essentials/groups/x"
}
jkeiser@Ettores-MacBook-Pro-2 ~/e/essentials> knife raw /groups/x
{
  "actors": [
  ],
  "users": [
  ],
  "clients": [
  ],
  "groups": [
  ],
  "orgname": "essentials",
  "name": "x",
  "groupname": "x"
}

If I follow it up with a PUT from the same file, I get:

jkeiser@Ettores-MacBook-Pro-2 ~/e/essentials> knife raw -m PUT /groups/x -i x.json
{
  "users": [
    "jkeiser"
  ],
  "clients": [
    "essentials-validator"
  ],
  "groups": [
    "admins"
  ],
  "orgname": "essentials",
  "name": "x",
  "groupname": "x"
}
jkeiser@Ettores-MacBook-Pro-2 ~/e/essentials> knife raw /groups/x
{
  "actors": [
  ],
  "users": [
  ],
  "clients": [
  ],
  "groups": [
  ],
  "orgname": "essentials",
  "name": "x",
  "groupname": "x"
}

@jkeiser Yes, at least the POST behavior is chef 12 change that I pointed out a while ago, I'll dig up the old ticket.

[stevendanna]

I can't seem to find where the issue on client-support for the new POST behavior went; however, that PUT behavior definitely seems incorrect and is worth investigating further.

@stevendanna Have you been able to follow up on this, or do you need some help on the further investigation front?

@jkeiser @stevendanna Do you need any additional information on this from the customer?
