tests fail with internal error

[tpokorra]

on my nightly builds, I often get this error, though it cannot be reproduced easily:

the error in /var/log/kolab-webadmin/errors:

works in vanilla mode, does not work after initMultiDomain/initTBitsISP, but works after a restart?

[tpokorra]

enabled debug_mode in kolab.conf

[kolab_wap]
debug_mode = TRACE

will see if that shows what ldap attribute causes the problem

just thinking: is mailhost set by kolabd? do I need to wait a little bit longer after creating the user? or force the sync?

running kolab -d 9 sync does not do it. but with systemctl stop kolabd localhost will not be set

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kolabd: __init__.py added_domains does not just contain new domains, but also modified domains, eg. new user

solution:

pykolab/cli/cmd_sync.py: auth.synchronize(mode='_paged_search', callback=queue_add) change to auth.synchronize()

queue_add will use a local _synchronize method, which only creates the imap mailbox, but does not call the things that LDAP _synchronize calls, when using the default callback

[tpokorra]

that does not seem to work. just hangs on Kolab 3.4, and takes much longer for Winterfell and Kolab 16
