[Re-]Added repo won't pull down packages

Support
#1

Hello,

I'm running 3.1rc2 and having an issue syncing a yum repository that was added/deleted/re-added. I believe I had this issue on 3.0 stable as well (which prompted me to upgrade to 3.1 "just in case").

I added the "EPEL 7" Yum repo to my "CentOS 7" product with label "epel7-int" and synced it. I went through a few iterations of adding/removing this repository and product with both the same and different labels while I've been learning/researching Foreman. Sometimes those processes failed and I had to muck with Dynflow to get things out of an error state. Unfortunately I don't know all iterations of add/remove that I did. Now my repo won't pull packages down. The sync process runs with no errors but reports "No new packages" and there are 0 packages and 0 errata in the repo.

Here's what I've tried:

Deleted the "EPEL 7" yum repo
Ran "foreman-rake katello:delete_orphaned_content RAILS_ENV=production"
Ran "pulp-admin orphan list" (it always reports 0 for everything)
Ran "pulp-admin repo list" and make sure there were no "EPEL" repos listed
Removed all directories with "epel" in the name in "/var/lib/pulp/published/yum/" (recursively)
Removed all references to "epel" in all "listing" files in "/var/lib/pulp/published/yum/" (recursively)
Rebooted three times for the lulz
[Re-]Added EPEL 7 (with the same label "epel7-int")
Ran manual sync, which indicated that there are no new packages

If I click "Manage Packages" there are none
If I click on the "Published At" link there are no packages

There seems to be some database/cache somewhere that I'm missing for a clean up.

Guidance is appreciated…

I just ran:

foreman-rake katello:reindex RAILS_ENV=production
foreman-rake katello:clean_backend_objects RAILS_ENV=production

And one or both of those commands cleaned up the issue.

This appears to be a bit more consistent than I thought. I removed / re-added another repo without getting any errors during the removal and the same thing happened. This time I changed the "label".

Steps:

Add "CentOS 7" repository to a product.
Sync it (expected packages appear).
Remove it.
Re-add the repo (same or different label, doesn't matter).
Sync it. Sync process says "no new packages" and repos say 0 packages/errata.
Run " foreman-rake katello:reindex RAILS_ENV=production", packages appear in repo.
