Pulp

Can you list some steps you took to produce this error and which version of pulp and its plugins you were using?

Version: pulp-2.17

Reproducing steps:

1. Make pulp raise error PLP0037 (Content import of %(path)s failed - must be an existing file"). It could happen when there's a bad network connection. The easiest way to reproduce the issue is updating pulp to always raise it in importing content:

https://github.com/pulp/pulp/blob/2-master/server/pulp/server/db/model/__init__.py#L921

-        if not os.path.isfile(path):
+        if True:
             raise exceptions.PulpCodedException(error_code=error_codes.PLP0037, path=path)

2. Make a repo sync request via repositories/{REPO_ID}/actions/sync/

Expected result: repo sync task fails and no new unit is create.

Actual result: repo sync task fails as expected, but an orphan unit is created in db.
