Problem Statement

If you create a content type that lives on host that does not exist on the target site, it will fail to publish and give no error. See screenshot below with no actionable error:

Failed to publish because an error occurred: An error occurred when processing Content Type in '/data/shared/assets/bundles/01J30Y1TQTNFG2MZEBFTQJPWQ9/working/dotcms.com/50e7185be91fea68442ef189e5ac0cb5.contentType.json' with ID 'Documentation Homepage': 50e7185be91fea68442ef189e5ac0cb5

Steps to Reproduce

1. add a new site (name random name)
2. add a content type on this site
3. try to push publish just this content type (without dependencies) to demo.dotcms.com

Acceptance Criteria

1. A good fix is to include the "hostName" in the content Type definition, rather than just the siteId. We could do a lookup in the handler to

• see if the site exists by id,
• if not, lookup site by hostname
• if not, fall back to system_host

This would prevent failures.

At minimum, we should show a better error message that describes the actual problem.

NOTE TO DEVS:

When the error message is being put together:

core/dotCMS/src/enterprise/java/com/dotcms/enterprise/publishing/remote/handler/ContentTypeHandler.java

Lines 210 to 212 in 3870c53

	final String errorMsg = String.format("An error occurred when processing Content Type in '%s' with ID '%s': %s",
	workingOn, (null == contentType ? "(empty)" : contentType.name()), (null == contentType ? "(empty)" :
	contentType.id()), e.getMessage());

The String.format method is expecting 3 parameters, but it's receiving 4. Therefore, the error message from the original exception is not going to be present in the message displayed in the UI.

Failed Internal QA: Saving the Content Type under default host instead of system host

Pass Internal QA: Now the Content Type is saved under the SYSTEN_HOST
