Description Jan Dobes 2016-11-24 15:53:45 UTC

Description of problem:
When taskomatic channel repodata task is running and package from actually processed channel is deleted (completely), task will throw unhandled exception.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. prepare channel with many packages
2. wait for taskomatic channel repodata task to process this channel
3. delete one of the packages (which was not processed yet)

Actual results:
exception in taskomatic log:

Task will keep running state, repodata not updated, taskomatic not processing channel repodata.

Expected results:
Exception is handled, task marked as failed, taskomatic will try to regenerate it again.

I believe it's fixed by these commits in spacewalk master:

Comment 4 Radovan Drazny 2016-11-29 14:44:55 UTC

Reproduced on spacewalk-java-2.3.8-155. Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a big enough channel. I have repo-synced the Centos 6 x86_64 base channel (6695 packages).
2. Pick a package starting with a late letter of the alphabet (zsh is a good candidate), and get its ID. Taskomatic should supposedly process packages in the alphabetical order, so "Z" is good.
3. Clone the channel from the step 1 and watch the /var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log for a message that taskomatic has picked up the task and started to generate repodata for the newly cloned channel:

  2016-11-29 08:27:00,074 [Thread-891] INFO  com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.repomd.RepositoryWriter - Generating new repository metadata for channel 'centos6cloned'(sha1) 6694 packages, 0 errata 

4. Quickly remove the package you have chosen in the step 2 using the "packages.removePackage" API call. Using the "channel.software.removePackages" is not enough to reproduce the issue, as it doesn't remove the package completely. You have to be faster than the taskomatic, to remove the package before taskomatic can process it.
5. Wait for the error message in the /var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log:

  INFO   | jvm 1    | 2016/11/29 08:27:19 | java.lang.NullPointerException

6. Taskomatic will detect that channel has been actually changed, and will do another run to generate the metadata, but original failed run will stay in the queue:
