Catalog cache isn't clearing after performing a refreshCatalog

[zbz17]

Hello,

I am facing an issue where the rancher catalog cache is not clearing when I force refreshCatalog

I am using S3 for our custom catalog repo and am running Rancher v2.2.5 in HA configuration in an Air-Gap environment.

Currently, whenever I build my helm charts and stage them to S3, I have to shell into my rancher containers and clear the catalog-cache in order to visibly see my chart updates (after performing refreshCatalog).

Is there any way to disable the catalog-cache?

UPDATE: I should note that I am observing this behavior in our dev environment and for our dev environment, we are staging these helm charts to S3 with the SAME CHART VERSION each time. So I am pretty sure that rancher would pick up the changes made to a chart if it were staged with a new ChartVersion, like they are for our other environments. But for development, we are forced for clear the cache each time so that rancher grabs the latest upload for that given chart version.

Thanks so much,
Zach

Catalog Refresh failing to pickup changes made to Charts

I recently upgraded to Rancher v2.2.2 so that I can use the added valuesYaml parameter in the payload for deployment requests of Catalog Apps via Rancher’s Rest API. I have made changes to helm charts stored in our Custom Catalog (Helm Repo) and then run a refreshCatalog for Rancher via the UI. The helm charts fail to update and still show the older versions. Our helm repo is in Amazon S3. I can see from S3 that the charts have been successfully updated so i suspect that the issue lies within …

Clear helm cache from rancher

Hello. I’m exploring Helm charts for usage. I created a test app catalog, and upload a chart. But there is a bugs in chart, and it’s failed to install. I fixed bugs, upload new chart with same name and version, refresh app catalog in rancher UI. After it, i try to deploy this app again, and it’s deploy from the old chart. I think, there are some cache in rancher… How can i force clear it? Rancher version 2.2.7.

Seems like there have been discussions about this topic, though it seems like it never got solved. Standard refresh works fine if Chart versions are different, but Charts don’t get refreshed if the content of a single version changes. I am on Rancher v2.3.3 .

The same issue in v2.5.2.
Steps to reproduce:

1. crate a helm chart with app-readme.md file
2. edit app-readme.md file and rebuild the helm chart (don’t change chart version)
3. Refresh catalog in Rancher - app readme is still the same
4. update helm chart version and rebuild
5. Refresh catalog in Rancher - app readme in the new version is changed. It is not changed in the old version
