Description of problem: I notice that complete repo sync and validate contents sync are not doing "force_full" sync on Satellite 6.9. This function is important especially for the Pulp 2 to Pulp 3 migration when Satellite has some missing data and corrupted contents. For example, contents are not migrated to Pulp 3 due to missing lazy catalog entries in the mongodb. To fix issue, force_full repo sync is needed. The root cause is Foreman task doesn't pass the "force_full" option to Pulp correctly when initializing the sync task. # app/lib/actions/katello/repository/sync.rb module Actions module Katello module Repository class Sync < Actions::EntryAction ... #pulp2 options pulp_sync_options[:force_full] = true if skip_metadata_check && repo.yum? <============= pulp_sync_options[:repair_sync] = true if validate_contents && repo.deb? pulp_sync_options[:remove_missing] = false if incremental pulp_sync_options[:source_url] = source_url #pulp3 options pulp_sync_options[:optimize] = false if skip_metadata_check && repo.yum? sequence do if SmartProxy.pulp_primary.pulp3_support?(repo) && validate_contents plan_action(Katello::Repository::VerifyChecksum, repo) else plan_action(Pulp::Repository::RemoveUnits, :repo_id => repo.id, :content_unit_type => ::Katello::YumMetadataFile::CONTENT_TYPE) if validate_contents && repo.yum? sync_action = plan_pulp_action([Actions::Pulp::Orchestration::Repository::Sync, Actions::Pulp3::Orchestration::Repository::Sync], repo, SmartProxy.pulp_primary, pulp_sync_options) <========================== the sync options are not parsed in input[:options] format # app/lib/actions/pulp/repository/sync.rb module Actions module Pulp module Repository class Sync < Pulp::AbstractAsyncTask include Helpers::Presenter input_format do param :repo_id param :source_url # allow overriding the feed URL param :options # Pulp sync options end def invoke_external_task overrides = {} overrides[:feed] = input[:source_url] if input[:source_url] overrides[:validate] = !(SETTINGS[:katello][:pulp][:skip_checksum_validation]) overrides.merge(input[:options]) if input[:options] <=============== input[:options] is empty. The "sync" method expect options in overrides[:options] repo = ::Katello::Repository.find(input[:repo_id]) output[:pulp_tasks] = repo.backend_service(::SmartProxy.pulp_primary).sync(overrides) end How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On web ui sync one repo to make sure it is up to date. 2. Sync the repo again with "complete" sync. 3. Check /var/log/messages Actual results: pulp: pulp_rpm.plugins.importers.yum.sync:INFO: [df9f139a] Parsing metadata. pulp: pulp_rpm.plugins.importers.yum.sync:INFO: [df9f139a] upstream repo metadata has not changed. Skipping steps. Expected results: pulp: pulp_rpm.plugins.importers.yum.sync:INFO: [0d1b8905] Parsing metadata. pulp: pulp.server.controllers.repository:INFO: [0d1b8905] Fully resyncing due to use of force_full in config Additional info: Workaround is to use pulp-admin to force_full sync the repo pulp-admin rpm repo sync run --repo-id <repo backend identifier> --force-full
