Real-Time Update Issue in fablib.show_site API After Resource Release

[Yuanjun Dai]

There is an issue in Fabric where, after a resource is released, the changes are not reflected in real time using the fablib.show_site API.

Hi Yuanjun,

This behavior is intentional; resource information is retrieved from cached data. Due to the scale of the system, updating it after each create or delete operation would be resource-intensive. Instead, the cache is refreshed at regular intervals, currently every 30 minutes.

Thanks,

The fact is I did not see it refresh even after 7 hours. It never happen before the update.

Subject: API Behavior Verification

Hi Yuanjun,

I have verified this, and the API is functioning as intended.

fablib.list_sites() retrieves resource information from the testbed. Once fetched, users can display data for a specific site using fablib.show_site(). Please note that fablib.show_site() only presents site information that was previously retrieved via fablib.list_sites().

To refresh the resource information, you need to call fablib.list_sites(update=True), followed by fablib.show_site().

Please check this in your code, and let us know if you continue to experience any issues.

Thanks,
Komal
