Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH manager] api: workaround non-working 'maxworkers' alias in bulk actions api calls
Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2025 10:14:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251205091539.783566-1-d.csapak@proxmox.com> (raw)
It seems, that 'alias' schema does not properly work currently for
normal schema definitions (only for property-string), since it does not
verification of the actual schema (verified by calling the api with
maxworkers=1000, which throws no errors). Luckily, this is the only use
as api parameters that I could find, and here it did not do anything,
since we did not actually use `$param->{maxworkers}` anymore.
In the long term, we should fix it in JSONSchema, but as a stop-gap,
restore the old 'maxworkers' parameters to a 'real' property and mark it
deprecated.
Also actually use it in the code and fix the error message to the new
variant.
Reported in the forums for the node-specific one (since there the gui
uses still the old variant):
