Errata install giving Executing dynflow action inside a transaction is not a good idea

Support

Problem: Applying errata to the host gives: Executing dynflow action inside a transaction is not a good idea

Expected outcome: Errata applied

Foreman and Proxy versions: Foreman and proxy versions 1.21.3,

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:

Other relevant data:
Getting this error a lot when trying to push out packages to hosts. In the dynflow console, it is showing this action as failing:

Actions::Katello::Host::Erratum::Install

I can skip it, press resume, and it completes, but obviously that isn’t ideal. Can you give me any pointers on where to look?

perhaps @tasks team could comment?

It looks like there is some dynflow hook attached to the host update event. I would be curious about the list of plugins enabled in this setup, because it looks like there might be some incompatible combination.

Here you go:

bastion Bastion provides a UI library of AngularJS based components designed to integrate and work with Foreman. Eric D Helms and Walden Raines 6.1.16
foreman-tasks The goal of this plugin is to unify the way of showing task statuses across the Foreman instance. It defines Task model for keeping the information about the tasks and Lock for assigning the tasks to resources.

Will try to remove some of them that we don’t really need just yet.

And these are the compute plugins we’re using:

Provider Status
Docker Installed
EC2 Installed
Google Not Installed
Libvirt Installed
OpenStack Installed
oVirt Not Installed
Rackspace Not Installed
VMware Installed
Xenserver Installed

So I removed puppetdb, discovery, and bootdisk plugins to start with.

Installing a package actually does work, but comes back as a warning with the same error as originally.

Dynflow console shows this:

Id: a6f8529f-81e0-4217-878c-e793361a9d78

Is this thread stale? Has this issue been resolved? If so, what was the solution? The issue that I see at the GUI is “Executing dynflow action inside a transaction is not a good idea”, but that is all I get.

Remote execution works, but not without also giving me this false error. If I attempt to install, say, Lynx, it works with no issues on the client side, but the GUI still tells me that it encountered this error. It is very strange.
