Wait until inventory is fully deleted in silent_delete
The silent_delete method does not appear to be used by the AWX CLI. I believe the only use is from:
awx/awxkit/awxkit/api/pages/base.py
Lines 185 to 187
in
eec4f8d
def cleanup(self):
log.debug('{0.endpoint} cleaning up.'.format(self))
return self._cleanup(self.delete)
This is used in integration tests to cleanup at the end of a test. Whenever inventory gets deleted, this leads to various conflict scenarios and deadlocks. This tends to play out by:
DELETE request for the inventory object
DELETE request for the organization
within the request-response cycle, this cascade deletes other objects, or takes SET_NULL action
Because the actual inventory deletion happens in a separate task, this means that inventory and organization deletion cascades are happening simultaneously (dependent on timing and resources).
This is low-priority on our list of practical concerns, because the inventory object accurately reports that its deletion is in progress. Clients can workaround if needed - and that's what I'm trying to do here. In an effort to reduce the flakiness and erroneous errors in integration tests, I propose that this will basically serialize the teardown process (for a given test agent), and that will eliminate a large cluster of flaky errors.

Contributing
- Refer to the Contributing guide to get started developing, testing, and building AWX.
- All code submissions are made through pull requests against the
develbranch. - All contributors must use git commit --signoff for any commit to be merged and agree that usage of --signoff constitutes agreement with the terms of DCO 1.1
- Take care to make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use
git rebasevs.git mergefor this reason. - If submitting a large code change, it's a good idea to join the
#ansible-awxchannel on web.libera.chat and talk about what you would like to do or add first. This not only helps everyone know what's going on, but it also helps save time and effort if the community decides some changes are needed.
