Indexer additions and updates not syncing to Sonarr or Radarr

[nattycleopatra]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Adding new indexers, or updating existing indexers, does not sync to Sonarr or Radarr despite both being set to full sync.

Expected Behavior

New or updated indexers being synced to the indexers in Sonarr and Radarr when set to full sync.

Steps To Reproduce

Adding an indexer:

1. Add a new indexer
2. An entry for the indexer doesn't appear in Sonarr or Radarr (nor does the event history or logging suggest Prowlarr attempting to add it there)

Updating an existing indexer:

1. Update some value like the indexer priority
2. The new value does not propagate to Sonarr or Radarr
3. Event history/logging shows errors from both Sonarr and Radarr saying categories weren't provided in the POST request

Environment

- OS: Ubuntu 20.04
- Prowlarr: 0.2.0.1621 (container image `ghcr.io/linuxserver/prowlarr:0.2.0-nightly`)
- Docker Install: Yes
- Using Reverse Proxy: Yes
- Browser: Firefox ESR

Have been a Prowlarr user since late October 2021. I used to follow develop branch releases, but some time early this year noticed indexer updates weren't synced. Switched to the develop track hoping it would be fixed there, which was not the case.

At this point I believe a couple of months have passed since noticing the issue, but it still remains present, 100% reproducible, and there still is no issue report to be found regarding it. Either I must have hit upon a really rare bug, or your other users are even lazier than me when it comes to reporting issues.

What branch are you running?

Nightly

Are your indexers showing the categories they support on the indexer page or are they saying None? Should be able to fix it with disabling / re-enabling them.

Since it's a PUT it's trying to update the existing indexers in *Arr and cannot as they don't have any categories. Manually removing the bad entries from *arr and letting prowlarr do another sync should work as well - assuming the first cause is resolved.

Also censored tracelogs typically are not helpful and hurt more than they help. If it's unmentionable - then just replace the name

Are your indexers showing the categories they support on the indexer page or are they saying None? Should be able to fix it with disabling / re-enabling them.

The list of supported categories shows up for each indexer in Prowlarr. If I disable one, the value under Categories changes to None. If I enable it again, the values reappear.

Sorry about the trace logs, the only thing I removed from there was the list of anime releases that appeared when adding the "AnimeTosho (Usenet)" indexer which was first in Prowlarr's list.

I'll have to make some backups first, but I'll test removing everything from Sonarr and Radarr and seeing if I can somehow make it sync up afterwards, and worst case I'll try to wipe the Prowlarr configuration and redo the setup. If this isn't a known issue it sounds likely something wonky has happened with my DB during one of many software upgrades months ago.
