Issue #4795
Updated by bherring almost 5 years ago
h2. Problem There is an inconsistent and relatively new regression on Pulp 2 Nightly CI: * rpm.api_v2.test_sync_publish.SyncRpmRepoTestCase.test_no_change_in_second_sync * https://github.com/PulpQE/Pulp-2-Tests/blob/e4699997370c734e94c43b956b44b088888b5d9e/pulp_2_tests/tests/rpm/api_v2/test_sync_publish.py#L144 * https://pulp-jenkins.rhev-ci-vms.eng.rdu2.redhat.com/view/Pulp%202%20-%20Master/job/pulp-2-master-dev-rhel7/441/testReport/ Failures can be seen in the second-sync Task Details. Historically, only a value of `0` are two discrete issues here: expected for the second-sync details for the verified fields: * 'added_count' * 'removed_count' * 'updated_count' * `pulp-smash` is now/recently updated polling at a 0.3s rate that. For a The output of the test including failure (including a second repo sync, negative value in this will occasionally returning a task "COMPLETE" but case for `removed_count` and non-zero for `added_count` as well as `task_id`) can be correlated with the CLI Task Output for the `task_id` showing non-zero values for the task verified fields. h3.

Background h3. Test Design The resulting return of non-zero values causes test failures. It appears that the ACTUAL change is none, however the task_details simply designed to: * Sync a repo (immediate/no flags) * Synch a repo again * Verify there are reporting incorrectly. This was supposedly discovered long ago, but no additional changes on the legacy issue could not be found. * Due to second sync (all artifacts should have been copied the above, first time) when checking the values Task Details of 'added_count', 'removed_count', 'updated_count' are being permanently updated to values in the db that are incorrect. Meaning, running `pulp-admin tasks details --task-id` of the automated task will result sync task. h3. Background This logic was added in the invalid values still being populated in the historic record. This appears 2016 to be related to legacy issue #4428 ensure sync was fully syncing: * https://github.com/PulpQE/pulp-smash/commit/0a51ef749faaa87afa311d665056de4270f9ec3c * https://github.com/PulpQE/pulp-smash/issues/161 The failures are relatively recent. h2. Recreation The RCA seems easiest way to be from updating pulp-smash polling recreate is to run the following test against a much quicker rate: https://github.com/PulpQE/pulp-smash/blob/e385e6685a82709fd167b5374d19c4dfcfdb78c5/pulp_smash/api.py#L687 pulp2 server. The test run-time is 16 seconds. To * https://github.com/PulpQE/Pulp-2-Tests/blob/e4699997370c734e94c43b956b44b088888b5d9e/pulp_2_tests/tests/rpm/api_v2/test_sync_publish.py#L144 If the test this, locally have pulp-smash installed and set needs to be abstracted to a VERY low polling rate. At set of manual steps, it can be. However, with the time inconsistent behavior of this writing, anything around `0.3` would fail 50-80% of the time. Adjusting test, it is best to an even smaller value should increase the probabiltiy of failure on a non-patched system. Run use this short python test through pytest with the following syntax for recreation in an appropriately prepared virtenv: this instance. <pre> (pulp2) [herring@redherring api_v2]$ pwd /home/herring/git/Pulp-2-Tests/pulp_2_tests/tests/rpm/api_v2 (pulp2) [herring@redherring api_v2]$ count=1; while [ $count -le 10 ]; do echo -e "Iteration: $count\n"; pytest -svv test_sync_publish.py::SyncRpmRepoTestCase::test_no_change_in_second_sync --disable-warnings; ((count++)); done </pre> A loop value The definition of 10 was chosen to ensure math was easy. It `inconsistent behavior` is expected there that the test will be a 100% sometimes pass rate. At this time, even with larger values around 2 seconds, there is still ~10% chance as expected and sometimes fail on any of failure. these fields. Also, running h2. Possible Behavioral Change Commit It was noted the following on a passing Task ID should NOT result in incorrect values for the task: Commit has recently been introduced. <pre> [root@rhel76 ~]# pulp-admin tasks details --task-id d0140034-e1ca-4d1e-a34f-7fdf1d17a697 </pre> Where It may be part of the `--task-id` is appropriate reason for the jobs being ran. behavioral change for the test. h2. QE Workaround in place For the time being, the values for pulp-smash when used on Pulp2 polling can be increase More investigation or a clear RCA is required still to keep these failures from happening. Once this task issues are resolved, pulp-smash can have verify the values restored to lower polling values. source. h2.
