Unable to remove listed offer

[Stuart Bishop]

I have an offer I'm unable to remove:

$ juju list-offers
Offer User Relation id Status Endpoint Interface Role Ingress subnets
client-db admin 1 joined db pgsql requirer

$ juju remove-offer client-db
ERROR application offer URL is missing application

$ juju status --format=json | jq .offers
{
  "client-db": {
    "application": "psql",
    "charm": "local:xenial/postgresql-client-0",
    "total-connected-count": 1,
    "active-connected-count": 1,
    "endpoints": {
      "db": {
        "interface": "pgsql",
        "role": "requirer"
      }
    }
  }
}

$ juju remove-application psql
removing application psql failed: cannot destroy application "psql": application is used by 1 offer

Destroying the model worked.

[Stuart Bishop (stub)]

I think the issue here is that either 'juju offers' needs to list the URL, or 'remove-offer' needs to accept the offer name (ie. assume the offer is in the current model).

[Ian Booth (wallyworld)]

Offers can exist in any controller and model the user has access to, so the remove-offer command is a so called "controller command" which does not have the concept of a current model. The minimal syntax would be:
$ juju remove-offer modelname.offername
(assuming the current user owns modelname)

or

$ juju remove-offer user/modelname.offername

Other commands like grant/revoke etc also work this way.

That's not to say we shouldn't look to improve the user experience here.

This is either In Progress or Incomplete, as we're adding a remove-offer --force, but also unable to reproduce the original issue that Stub was encountering.

Comment #4 refers to bug 1757926 not this one.
The above PR does make it possible though to just type a bare offer name for remove and show
