actions can get wedged, showing up in list views, but 404 on get and delete

[starpit]

The bug is that actions can get "wedged" into a namespace, where they continue to show up in the list views, but the controller yields 404s on action GET and DELETE. more oddly, action update gives back a "concurrent modification to resource detected" message! (no concurrency involved, from my end)

Environment details:

• i've only tried us-south IBM Cloud Functions

Steps to reproduce the issue:

i'm not quite sure yet, but so far, i've only been able to trigger this bug when creating Conductor actions. i'll continue to try to figure this one out

we had a wedged namespace a few weeks ago (from our initial correspondence on this topic), and it seems to have unwedged itself (after a week or so); perhaps because the controller was rebooted?

Provide the expected results and outputs:

after wiping all assets, the list view should be a empty

Provide the actual results and outputs:

@starpit Did you ever get a resolution to this issue. I am experiencing the same issue.

[starpit]

not on my end. this was (still is? not sure) a backend issue with view consistency in openwhisk. unfortunately, i don't know (one way or the other) if any progress has been made on it.

This is a duplicate of #2051.

I'm also getting this error. action is showing in action list but when deleting it 404 error comes. and when updating this action Concurrent modification to resource detected error comes.

this occurs when an action is missing the attachment stored in the artifact db. in the fix commit, the action will still correctly return a 404 if you try to perform a GET; but you will now be able to delete or overwrite the function to mitigate and redeploy
