@koushik-das @sateesh-chodapuneedi @ramkatru @karuturi @rhtyd Regarding
unit tests, I can't see any useful tests can be written here which I have
already specified the reason for. Also we have already lot of unit tests which
are wasting time to fix. Every now and then I am coming across unit tests which
are not written in proper way and leads to waste of effort. As far as my
understanding of unit test goes they are to reduce effort not increase. One
example is in this PR's last jenkins run. That build was failed because one
test is trying to download/copy file and that failed. As per my understanding
unit tests should not do any thing which are dependent on external environments
failure. As those kind of failures are bound to happen. As when those happen we
have to go and check why that is failed wasting some time to understand. So
ultimately we are wasting lot of effort currently because of tests not properly
written.
> VM snapshot stuck in Creating state when management service is stopped

> Reporter: Anshul Gangwar

> Fix For: Future
>
>
> If we stop cloudstack-managment service while a VM snapshot is in progress,
> the snapshot will be stuck in "Creating" state forever, even after the
> service is started.
> This will leave the snapshot in unusable state (we can't delete it or it
> won't go into Error state etc).
> Repro steps:
> ==========
> Create an instance.
> Take a VM snapshot and stop the cloudstack-managment service while the
> snapshot is in progress.
> Check the snapshot state in DB and it will be creating.
> Start the management service and check the snapshot state.
> It will be creating forever.
