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.

Red Hat Bugzilla 1289384 0 high CLOSED Include foreman-rake foreman_tasks:cleanup with Satellite 2021-02-22 00:41:40 UTC

Internal Links: 1289384

Description Pavel Moravec 2016-02-15 08:37:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
Applying patch from bz1289384, and running the cleanup script with AFTER=.. longer than a repo has been synced, Sync Status page shows the repo has not been synced ever.

I suggest this improvement: in case "Never synced" is about to appear, check if pulp repo has been synced, i.e. by running:

pulp-admin repo tasks list --repo-id <id>

(and finding newest sync operation)

or by querying repo_sync_results collection in mongodb (somehow via pulp, I guess)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Sat6.2 / Sat6.1.6 patched by bz1289384 (foreman-tasks commit fb88f07)


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sync a repo >1 day ago
2. foreman-rake foreman_tasks:cleanup AFTER=1d FILTER=
3. Check Sync status in WebUI


Actual results:
3. shows the repo "Never synced"


Expected results:
3. to show same info like before (without the cleanup script called)


Additional info:
kudos to Nikola Stiasni who discovered this bug.

Would it not make sense to maintain the sync status as part of the metadata of
the repository?

I think repository metadata are generated only when publishing the repository, what is a different pulp action than repo sync. It usually (always?) follows repo sync, though.

Moreover, repo metadata are AFAIK just written to the disk under /var/lib/pulp and just pulp knows the proper location. It would be weird to get info about latest repo sync (katello request) from something written by pulp to the disk..
Comment 7 Stuart Auchterlonie 2016-09-09 11:52:22 UTC 
Here's me thinking we stored that info in the database somewhere :)
Comment 8 Adam Ruzicka 2017-11-22 14:28:01 UTC 
This needs to be handled on katello's side. We need to somehow stop relying on tasks always being there and store the needed data ourselves.
Comment 9 Bryan Kearney 2018-08-02 20:59:58 UTC 
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the forseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
