Host deletion failing

Support
1

When I try to delete a host I get "RuntimeError: Executing dynflow action
inside a transaction is not a good idea".

At one point I had tried to rebuild the host and I got template generation
errors due.

My wild guess is that the build failure did not clean itself up the way it
should have and there is a dangling transaction somewhere.

  1. Is there a way to list outstanding or open transactions?
  2. is there a way to delete/close a transaction?

Hello,

this seems as a bug, could you please send us more information about your setup? What version of Foreman do you run, what plugins (and versions) are installed? To find out, navigate to Administer -> About -> Plugins. Also an output from foreman-debug [1] could help.

[1] Foreman :: Manual

Thanks

Hello

I assume you're using Katello, it seems to be a known issue, see [1] Bug #11578: Unable to delete host - Katello - Foreman and [2] Bug #10722: Can not delete host - Katello - Foreman

It does not seem to be fixed yet
