Description of problem: Refernce bug # 443718 Comment# 29 1. Create a custom channel. Push trunk/qa/automation/gold/src/main/resources/testAutoFile-1-1.0.i386.rpm and trunk/qa/automation/gold/src/main/resources/testAutoFile-2-1.0.i386.rpm to the custom channel. 2. Subscribe system to this channel 3. install testAutoFile-1-1.0 on the system. 4. create errata 5. Add testAutoFile-2-1.0.i386.rpm to the errata 6. Publish errata. (here it shouldnt say package doesn't exist in the custom channel, do you want to push it? as package is already pushed in step 1.) 7. Check in system->errata whether the errata is shown over there. Actual results: It will take a minute for errata to be seen there which happens instantaneously if package is pushed to the channel later when publishing errata. Expected results: Behavior should be the same no matter whether whether package is pushed to channel before or after. Whenever errata is published, errata cache recalculations should kick in.
Same experiment should also be checked for >2000 systems.
Approving for Justin review. It doesn't seem to Cliff and I that one minute is that long to wait, but agreed that it seems odd that it has a different behavior. Other issue, Sayli, can you please report a new bug for step 6 above?
Brandon, One minute is just for 2-3 systems. It is taking really long (more than 20 mins when I tried yesterday) for 2000+ systems. I have talked with Justin about it yesterday and it seems that code IS different for these two different ways of pushing packages to channel when publishing errata and it needs to be fixed. Also, step 6 is not a bug, its right behavior. I just mentioned over there to make sure to follow correct procedure when reproducing the behavior. If one sees "package doesn't exist in the custom channel, do you want to push it?" at step 6, that means you have done something different in steps 1-5. Then you wont be able to reproduce the behavior correctly. Sorry if my wording is confusing over there. ~SayliK
So the issue (as Sayli and I discussed) is that if pushing an errata to a channel doesn't push any packages to the channel (i.e. the packages are already in the channel), the errata cache entries were not being added at all. Fixing so they are being added: 8894711
Verified. Related errata shows up almost immediately now.
errata was there right away. tried many times with Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090820.1 switching to release_pending
