Metadata loss #38

Open PyvesB opened 6 years ago

PyvesB commented 6 years ago

Hello,

Issues similar to those described in #29 seem to keep on happening repeatedly. For instance the metadata for this centos image is missing all size information and is displaying "Layer information not yet retrieved". Nevertheless, this image version was built around a month ago and MicroBadger claims that it was "Last inspected 3 days ago.".

A lot of images are facing this same issue. Calling the webhook seems to temporarily solve the issue (I've just managed to get the size information back on jumanjiman/puppet using this technique) but the metadata often disappears again without any changes actually being made to the image. See the comment here for a slightly more detailed description of the problem.

Thanks in advance for looking into this.

Cheers,

Pyves

Hi Pyves, thanks for reporting this. We had a problem gettings tags data from Docker Hub which has caused this data problem. I'm running a full refresh to fix the data. This takes several hours and I'll close the issue once its complete and the data is fixed.

As you've mentioned calling the webhook URL will also fix the problem more quickly if there are specific images you need data for. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks

Ross

Closing as the refresh was completed successfully. Please reopen if there are still issues. Cheers

Thanks for your quick response, I haven't spotted anything unexpected so far. 😉

Hello there!

Just to let you know, users of Shields.io have recently reported similar issues again (see https://github.com/badges/shields/issues/3988). For instance, rfgamaral/gphotos-uploader was not getting its layer metadata populated even after several days. As last times, hitting the webhook did solve the problem after ~15 minutes, but that's quite an impractical workaround.

Thanks,

Pyves

maslick/minimalka is not getting picked up even several hours after hitting the webhook.

As a side note @rossf7 suggested reopening this issue if we experienced problems again, however, I don't have permissions to do so.

@PyvesB thanks for raising this. The issue is microbadger is now a side project and we have limited time to work on it. But we'll do what we can to improve the stability.

I'll talk with Liz and Anne and we'll see what we can do to improve the situation.
