v1.2.0 Does not auto refresh plot directories #7262

Closed CryptoBlockchainTechnologies closed 3 years ago

CryptoBlockchainTechnologies commented 3 years ago

This came up during the roll out today after upgrading and the solution was to hit the refresh button. However this is now a bug when comparing to prior versions in that as you add more plots to a directory either from a network connection or from a CLI client plotter (MadMax etc) the GUI does not see the plots both on the Plots tab and the Pool tab on the NFTs. This is after starting the GUI for the first time and hitting that refresh button.

I now have to constantly refresh all of my plotters hourly since updating to 1.2.0. I run 12 plotters and produce quite a few plots each hour. Remoting into12 plotters and hitting the refresh button is not what I consider an automated application. Refreshing plots is important so that I can start pooling and to also verify the plots are valid. I plot into 18TB drives that hold 165 plots each and they take about 2 days to fill. Waiting to pool almost 2000 plots until they are ready to move to harvestor is not ideal. The only solution now is to manually keep refreshing.

I have this issue in the Linux version. Windows users are reporting no issues.

Anyone adding feedback to this issue whether you are not seeing it or not, please include which OS you are using.

Same for me. I was thinking about a downgrade, as this was not a problem with the latest build before stable.

antonmakarenko commented 3 years ago

I tested on a setup where main farmer machine runs GUI, and plotter is a different machine that only runs harvester CLI against the target directory being plotted (connecting to the farmer machine via local network). Refresh on the harvester works correctly, and is properly reflected on the GUI -> Farm tab

I am using Ubuntu and having this issue, what OS are you using?

我也是同样问题

jlfsccm commented 3 years ago

我也是同样问题windows 10 、windows server 2019同样问题

mbaric1 commented 3 years ago

Same here, but I am on Windows 10.

Noticed that plots created using MadMax are not added on the list of the plots, farm overview is not updated, and plot count on the pool isn't updated on the GUI. But if you take a look under Farm - Last Attempted Proof - Plots Passed Filter you can see that table is regularly updated and plot count is increased (e.g. x/250, x/251).

Think this is pure GUI issue where statuses are not being updated, but your plots are detected by harvester and farming.

Tongie969 commented 3 years ago

Hi, I am on Ubuntu 20.4 as well. I was using the mainnet realest before, and it was all fine. A new bug for stable release

Tongie969 commented 3 years ago

Did someone try if a downgrade would fix it?

Can confirm this is the case - My Plots Passed Filter increases, but the GUI "plot count" and Pool "Number of Plots" do not, until you manually "Refresh Plots"

fereehu commented 3 years ago

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 20.04 with version 1.2.0.

For a workaround, what is the CLI command for "Refresh plots" button? Does anyone know this? Maybe I could add this to cron to refresh it in every x minutes.

Tongie969 commented 3 years ago

Good point, hopefully there is one. If you need to restart the hole farmer, it takes a way to long.

CryptoBlockchainTechnologies commented 3 years ago

I am beginning to think the same thing. Hopefully we can get a developer to weight in soon so we can all go back to sleep and stop refreshing our machines every hour. I am beginning to think this is payback, not intentional, for all the sleepless nights they went through to get this release out so fast. :)

Tongie969 commented 3 years ago

Yes, true farmer and harvester are getting them, but not the pool. So you won't get points for those new plots. :(

CryptoBlockchainTechnologies commented 3 years ago

Not sure sure though because my understanding is the pool does not know how many plots you have and the points are generated based on partials, which come from passing the filter. I am hoping as long as they are being passed through the filter, you should be getting the points. It might just be two displays that need to get refreshed so we can sleep.

mbaric1 commented 3 years ago

I've checked the logs. Harvester searches for directories and finds new plot and harvester is aware of that. It is just that GUI stats are not updated.

There is similar issue raised Chia-Network/chia-blockchain-gui#487 . @seeden said it's a known issue and team is working on it.

Brilliant, thanks I can go to sleep now and rest assured my machines are doing what they were designed to do.

The solution for plots that disappear with version 1.2 is this: You have to uninstall version 1.2 and delete the following folders: C: \ Users \ username \ .chia and C: \ Users \ username \ AppData \ Local \ Chia-Blockchain \ restart the pc and reinstall version 1.2. folders with plots and recognizes them. It is a bug of version 1.2 that when you install with the previous version it is as if it blocked your plots folders.

I agree with a previous comment that says it is a disgrace. The plots that we small farmers have been making for months now do not work .... This version is a disgrace to the general public. Plot again? where is the emblem of the 'eco' coin? spend light to plot again? will this happen every time they change the version? friends I think this is not normal!

Andyaj commented 3 years ago

Same here.. the plots are coming in from madmaxplotter from across network but the chia software does not detect in the pool and i need to refresh the plots in the plots tab for it to reflect back on pool. Running 1.2.0 on window 2012 R2

softwareuser99 commented 3 years ago

agree and confirm this only happens with 1.2

temicus commented 3 years ago

@Kryptoand the solution doesn't work for auto refresh. I deleted everything and cleaned up and reinstalled. Problem remains.

brasrox commented 3 years ago

same on Windows 10 , chia v1.2 using madmax on 2 machines but all new plots doesnt auto refresh in farmer and pool tab, but in filter its refresh

Kryptoand commented 3 years ago

parcels appear until the chia blockchain syncs in 1.2v . once the program is synchronized it is blocked. The program has an error and does not allow deleting even the locations (folders) of the plots. They also do not allow you to add the old plots to your own pool ... they said they would not work for the pools but they also do not work for solo plotting. BRAVO

bugs after bugs

jlacroix82 commented 3 years ago

Can confirm this is happening on all of my clients, running the full UI as individual farmers/harvesters in pool mode now. But the good thing is at least the pool can see my active plots despite the UI not seeing them.

mladenperisic commented 3 years ago

Have the same issue on all my computers (Windows 10 Pro 64-bit).

Armageus commented 3 years ago

Not sure that 1.2.1 has actually fixed this. After deleting 2 plots the Plots passed filter display decreased almost instantly, however the Plot Count did not change even when waiting ~3 minutes. A manual refresh of plots did however work "first time"

brasrox commented 3 years ago

xludodx commented 3 years ago

is there a CLI command to refresh plots list ? Tx

Tongie969 commented 3 years ago

@xludodx I think that wouldn't change a thing. Harvester updates them and offers those to the network. The singleton token doesn't recognize them. Please have a look at it, Chia team :rotating_light:

adic20 commented 3 years ago

same issue with windows OS, after v1.2.0 update auto refresh not working.

adic20 commented 3 years ago

same issue with windows OS, after v1.2.0 update auto refresh not working. updated to v1.2.1 issue still there no auto refresh

zhouchiyan82 commented 3 years ago

使用PSchiaPlotter也是一样的，更新到1.2.1，当plot绘制完成后不会加到矿池中，每次都要手动刷新

Andyaj commented 3 years ago

Seriously.. I really don't know who's listening ar chia development.!!?!! Same issue.

The same issue on Win10/chia v1.2.2. Actually, today "Refresh Plots" stopped working. All back to normal after restarting the full node.

Tongie969 commented 3 years ago

same issue with windows OS, after v1.2.0 update auto refresh not working. updated to v1.2.1 issue still there no auto refresh

Confirmed same for me Ubuntu 20.04 server and desktop.

Zeesy commented 3 years ago

I'm not getting any updates to my pool tab, even after restarting. Win10. chia check plots shows 18 valid plots.

coolpro313 commented 3 years ago

same for me too on windows 10 but in my case it wouldn't update when i add drives that has the plots files remove them for either maintenance or transfer to another drive as a replacement or even when creating new plot files requiring me to add the drives close reopen just to update same for removing and after a new plot is created both from mad max and regular slow plotter

emlowe commented 3 years ago

We believe this is improved with 1.2.3

Jacek-ghub commented 3 years ago

Is there a release document that lists the changes in v1.2.3? Never mind. It is on the download page.

coolpro313 commented 3 years ago

oh ok i just saw that the update got released 3 hours ago from the time that i sent this comment i'll update the wallet now and see if it got fixed or not @emlowe @Jacek-ghub

Jacek-ghub commented 3 years ago

Auto-refresh works for me (Win10)! Thanks.

Update: For those that don't see it working, maybe you could try to check the following things:

  1. Check your harvester log, whether it picks up those new plots (it should be an entry about finding that new plot, right after the line that shows folders that are being scanned; also, the number of plots on that harvester will be bumped). If the harvester log doesn't have that entry, you need to investigate this part, as it seems to be broken (out of version harvester, folder where you put that new plot is not listed as to be scanned?). Based on config.yaml, harvester is scanning for new/deleted plots every 120 seconds (default value).
  2. Check your full node UI / Farm / Last Attempted Proof for the harvester in question, whether the number of plots will be bumped. If not, potentially you have a version mismatch between your harvester and your full node, or some other issue.
  3. On your full node UI / Pool pre v1.2.3 versions were not updating plot numbers, but at least in my case with the v1.2.3, once that new plot discovery is propagated, it shows here as well. Again, it may take those two minutes or so to get it updated on this page, though.

Although, this is just one example that shows that the UI needs to have one more tab, just about harvesters - their health, what they are sitting on, how that is divided, etc. The main point of any UI is not to show some garbage flipping every 10 seconds, but rather show in a quickest way possible the overall status of the system, i.e., your harvesters as well. The fact that end users are required to parse those logs is just software malpractice.
