dashboard not automatically refreshed

[forrestbao]

If I create a new repo, and click "Codepod" in the breadcrumbs to navigate back to the dashboard, the new repo will not appear on my dashboard until I manually fresh (via the browser) the dashboard page. I am not sure whether we do not have autorefresh or the auto-refresh frequency is too low. But at least every time I access it.

Yes, I'm aware of this. This is a bug somewhere in React re-rendering logic. It should be instantly refreshed.

PR #422 should fix the issue

[lihebi]

#422 doesn't fix this issue. (And #422 introduced a regression, fixed in #425).

This issue is weird, it works well (to refresh the dashboard) in the local development env, but doesn't work on the production server.

Possible solutions:

1. use the full query {query: ..., variables: ...} instead of the string "GetDashboardRepos" in the refetchQueries option. Ref: refetchQueries not working when using string array after mutation apollographql/apollo-client#5419 (comment)
2. update GraphQL cache manually instead of relying on refetchQueries, similar to what Haochen did in chore: enhance delete repo UX #364 (comment)
