Description of problem: If goferd cannot authenticate to the parent, it fails silently unless you run it in the foreground. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pulp-agent-2.3.1-1.el6.noarch python-pulp-agent-lib-2.3.1-1.el6.noarch gofer-0.77.1-1.el6.noarch python-gofer-0.77.1-1.el6.noarch How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Break authentication on the parent. I believe it should be sufficient to disable OAuth. 2. Start goferd on the child. 3. Be puzzled about why things aren't working. Actual results: goferd silently fails to authenticate and syncs time out with no explanation of why. Expected results: goferd should log the detailed and useful error message it produces when run in the foreground. (For extra points, a more useful message about where to look when a sync times out would be awful nice, too.) Additional info:
It turns out that my ultimate problem was this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=834697 So it'd be extra super nice if goferd caught this exception and logged something friendly about disabling qpidd authentication: Exception in thread ip-10-196-7-184.poc.ae1.mclassdc.net: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/threading.py", line 532, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gofer/messaging/consumer.py", line 61, in run receiver = self.__open() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gofer/messaging/consumer.py", line 89, in __open ssn = self.__consumer.session() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gofer/messaging/endpoint.py", line 186, in session self.__session = self.ssnpool.get(self.url) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gofer/messaging/endpoint.py", line 54, in get con = broker.connect() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gofer/messaging/broker.py", line 108, in connect con.attach() File "<string>", line 6, in attach File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/qpid/messaging/endpoints.py", line 274, in attach self._ewait(lambda: self._transport_connected and not self._unlinked()) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/qpid/messaging/endpoints.py", line 209, in _ewait self.check_error() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/qpid/messaging/endpoints.py", line 202, in check_error raise self.error AuthenticationFailure: Error in sasl_client_start (-1) SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (Credentials cache file '/tmp/krb5cc_0' not found) As it stands, the error, which is largely impenetrable, is also hidden.
