Description of problem:
When promoting a CV to a LE (maybe also during other scenarios, not sure now), the task can fail during Finalize step Actions::Katello::ContentView::PromoteToEnvironment .

The reason is in code:

/usr/share/gems/gems/katello-4.9.0.25/app/models/katello/content_view.rb new line 437:

~~~
def update_host_statuses(environment)

update errata applicability counts for all hosts in the CV & LE
Location.no_taxonomy_scope do
User.as_anonymous_admin do
::Katello::Host::ContentFacet.in_content_views_and_environments(
content_views: [self],
lifecycle_environments: [environment]
).each do |facet|
facet.update_applicability_counts
facet.update_errata_status
end
end
end
end
~~~

where:
1) ContentFacet list is generated
2) for each facet, applicability is being recalculated
3) some Host for such a facet is deleted
4) the facet for the deleted Host is being recalculated

Then, the 4) fails with backtrace:

NoMethodError

undefined method `get_status' for nil:NilClass

Because we call "host.get_status(::Katello::ErrataStatus).refresh!" for a removed Host.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Applicable to any version, I think

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have Foreman with a bigger CV (promoted to non-Library LE) and many Hosts associated to the CV/LE. To populate fake Hosts, you can run below script in a loop:

~~~
domain=YOUR.HOST.DOMAIN
ak=YOUR.ACTIVATION.KEY
org=YOUR.ORGANIZATION

uuid=$(uuidgen)
short=$(hostname -s)

echo "{\"dmi.system.uuid\": \"${uuid}\"}" > /etc/rhsm/facts/uuid.facts
hostnamectl set-hostname ${short}.${uuid%%-*}.${domain}
subscription-manager clean
subscription-manager register --activationkey ${ak} --org ${org}
~~~

(a few hundreds of Hosts is sufficient)

2. Create a new version of the CV and promote it to the LE associated with the Hosts.

3. During the promote, regularly delete some Hosts - you must catch the time when Finalize phase is running.

One can mimic 2. even for already promoted CV/LE by running (customize own CV id and LE id):

(within foreman-rake console)

::Katello::ContentView.find(54).update_host_statuses(Katello::KTEnvironment.find(2))

(once you run this, delete a Host)

Actual results:
2. fails in Actions::Katello::ContentView::PromoteToEnvironment step in Finalize phase with above backtrace.

Optionally, foreman-rake mimicking reproducer fails with:

irb(main):138:0> ::Katello::ContentView.find(54).update_host_statuses(Katello::KTEnvironment.find(2))

Expected results:
No such exception.

Additional info:
Potential fix: add "if content.host" twice:

def update_host_statuses(environment)

update errata applicability counts for all hosts in the CV & LE
Location.no_taxonomy_scope do
User.as_anonymous_admin do
::Katello::Host::ContentFacet.in_content_views_and_environments(
content_views: [self],
lifecycle_environments: [environment]
).each do |facet|
facet.update_applicability_counts if facet.host # here it is optional
facet.update_errata_status if facet.host # here it is crucial
end
end
end
end
