Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Stack trace showing the error in action.

Description of problem:
Issuing an HTTP GET request for a non-existent repository triggers an HTTP 500 error with this error message:

    NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

This only occurs if a repository with the given ID once existed. Fetching a repository that has never existed will trigger an HTTP 404 as usual with a message like this:

    Couldn't find Katello::Repository with id=600

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2014-11-12 20:33:26 UTC 
Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
Comment 3 jaudet 2014-11-12 20:51:33 UTC 
This is tested. See https://github.com/SatelliteQE/robottelo/pull/1679
Comment 4 jaudet 2014-11-25 15:59:24 UTC 
This issue apparently occurs because repository deletion is an asynchronous task that takes a significant amount of time to complete.
