Issue while creating a Custom Button with expression via API

[Fryguy]

Similar to https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-api/issues/1053, setting a custom button expression through the API is different than setting it on the backend (note the MiqExpression in the visibility expression below in the first part but not in the second part.

^{Originally posted by Inkompetenz20 June 3, 2022} Hello,

I want to add a custom Button via the API of ManageIQ. After my API call, the button exists in ManageIQ, but the enablement and visibility expressions are not displayed.

The first select statement displays the button, when added/updated via the GUI and the secound select statement displays the button, when added/updated via API.

I think it looks like a similar error as in https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-api/issues/1053. Is this a known error?

Best, Paul

@kbrock Can you take a look at this one?

Hi @kbrock, is there an update on the issue? Is there more information we can deliver to make the problem more clear? Our manageIQ breaks regularly due to the problem with custom buttons and their visibility expression.

e.g.

1-ui-6ff548c899-dp9ln 1-ui {"@timestamp":"2022-08-16T07:43:19.122458 ","hostname":"1-ui-6ff548c899-dp9ln","pid":8,"tid":"acb48","service":"production","level":"crit","message":"Error caught: [NoMethodError] undefined method lenient_evaluate' for #<Hash:0x000055e0f0fe7d98>\n/var/www/miq/vmdb/app/models/custom_button.rb:208:in evaluate_visibility_expression_for'\n/var/www/miq/vmdb/app/models/custom_button_set.rb:87:in block (2 levels) in filter_with_visibility_expression'\n/opt/manageiq/manageiq-gemset/gems/activerecord-6.0.5.1/lib/active_record/relation/delegation.rb:88:in each'\n/opt/manageiq/manageiq-gemset/gems/activerecord-6.0.5.1/lib/active_record/relation/delegation.rb:88:in `each'\n

Thanks a lot, Thomas

@kbrock I think this is still an issue - since you're currently in MiqExpression code, can you take a look at this one?

[kbrock]

There is a deep_symbolize_keys in there. I'll see what parts of the symbolize are necessary.
