Ranger policy creation failing

We are building our own plugin but we are getting this error when saving.

Which version of Ranger do you use? This looks like the issue fixed in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-1175.

Can you provide more information on the nature of the plugin? Are you able to share the code or snippet of relevant code? It looks like Ranger is trying to retrieve the resourceType property value, but it isn't defined.

Have you seen this: http://bryanbende.com/development/2016/04/25/building-a-plugin-for-apache-ranger

We have a resource hierarchy like this where database/tablespace/protocol are top level resources. But when only tablespace is selected, that error appears.

  • database
    • schema
      • table
      • sequence
      • function
    • language
  • tablespace
  • protocol

you need to check the service definition you created for your service

Here is the sample one check for HIVE. check it out https://github.com/apache/incubator-ranger/blob/master/agents-common/src/test/resources/admin/servic...

I checked the service definition but nothing looks off:

{ "itemId": 6,"name": "language","type": "string","level": 20,"parent": "database","mandatory": true,"lookupSupported": true,"recursiveSupported": false,"excludesSupported": true,"Matcher": "org.apache.ranger.plugin.resourcematcher.RangerDefaultResourceMatcher","matcherOptions": {"wildCard":true, "ignoreCase":true},"validationRegEx": "","validationMessage": "","uiHint": "","label": "Language","description": "desc"}

This service definition appears be "language" under the database element based on the "parent' value. What does the service definition for the tablespace component look like?

I'm using HDP 2.5 on Hortonworks sandbox.

Fix in RANGER-1175 may not be present in the sandbox. Can you try the following workaround, to get the fix in the sandbox?

1. cd /usr/hdp/current/ranger-admin/ews

2. mv webapp/scripts/views/policies/RangerPolicyForm.js webapp/scripts/views/policies/RangerPolicyForm.js.saved

3. curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/incubator-ranger/ranger-0.6/security-admin/src/main/webapp/... > webapp/scripts/views/policies/RangerPolicyForm.js

After this, please clear your browser cache and try.

Hope this helps.
