21.1.7: Updates tab is hanging

[opn_nwo]

After upgrading to 21.1.7 I noticed that the Updates tab under System, Firmware is hanging and not displaying anything every time I check for updates, run an audit or install a plugin.

[iam]

I can confirm the issue. I've also notice that output of upgrade was stopping during the upgrade.

I had the same issue. After I cleared the cache in my web browser (edge 91) this started working again

Thanks, that did it!

[human_usb]

Yep, same issue. No matter how I clean my cache things will not display correct in health audit, Update, etc.

**EDIT**

Going to try a full on chrome cache nuke.

** EDIT 2 **

That did it. Lame, but it fixed it.

[franco]

It seems to enjoy caching the empty backend response from the poller. So it likely works but the browser looks the other way and the page never gets updated in the process.

IMO there's a bug in the cache invalidation algorithm.

This is one of the most complicated things in API development. It also is not that easy with web app development it seems.

It should not be necessary to clear the browser's cache after any web app update. Otherwise you have to wipe your cache pretty often, which is contrary to the purpose of a cache.

[franco]

Er, yes, obviously? I'm not sure how this is helpful.

had to clear cache as well.

Used this as it will only clear cache for specific sites.

Now the update output is hanging at that point…

Update
While the update output hang, the apu2 got rebooted ….so its all good i guess.

[gpb]

Just to confirm, my update output hung also, but at a different point.  The last line in mine was "[34/35] Extracting opnsense-21.1.7: ........", then nothing.  I opened a ping window on my desktop and saw pings eventually failed to opnsense (rebooting) and then they returned.  I had to refresh the browser to get back to the login screen.

[tessus]

Er, yes, obviously? I'm not sure how this is helpful.

Nobody confirmed this as a bug, which was the reason for my comment.

[franco]

Because everyone involved said the browser did cache it and clearing the cache worked.

There might be a problem with the latest Phalcon version which basically was the only change involved, but it is too early to tell.

Just to confirm that firefox behaves the same way as chrome (didn't see any mention of FF yet). While upgrading from 21.1.6-amd64 to 21.1.7_1-amd64 the output stopped while unpacking firmware. After a while I reloaded the page an got login page as opnsense meanwhile finished upgrade and rebooted.

As far as I can tell all pages display correctly except for upgrade and security check, which I tested. Even forced reload of the tab didn't work (<ctrl><shift><r>) and standard reload of course neither. After clearing the cache everything was fine again. I can search for updates and run security check again.

[Samplex]

Had the same issue, after clearing the cache the update tab works again.
