Today's scope doesn't refresh automatically and indicates wrong day

[Sebastien Bacher]

Not sure if that's rather something for unity8 or the "today", but that page should auto-refresh on day changes. Otherwise when you pick your phone in the morning and unlocks it you get welcomed with the wrong date info until you pull down to manually refresh the view

Chris, please reassign as applicable

A solution to this could be to set:

ResultsTtlType = Large

in the today scope ini file.

This will cause the scope results to become invalid (and therefore refreshed) after an hour or so since it was last requested and the user looks at the scope.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is there any documentation on what ResultsTtlType actually does? All I've been able to find is that it can be none small medium or large, but no indication of what any of those actually mean..

[Marcus Tomlinson (marcustomlinson)]

Hey Chris, we have a little more detail on ResultTtl under the "Deployment" section of our API doc:

https://developer.ubuntu.com/api/scopes/cpp/sdk-15.04.1/index/
("ResultTtl determines how long results should be cached...")

Currently these values are set (in unity-scopes-shell) to:

const int RESULTS_TTL_SMALL = 30000; // 30 seconds
const int RESULTS_TTL_MEDIUM = 300000; // 5 minutes
const int RESULTS_TTL_LARGE = 3600000; // 1 hour

Today scope has had "ResultsTtlType=Large" in the scope ini file for quite a while now.

[Roascio Paolo (roa)]

I can see that ResultsTtlType=Large is in (OTA-12):

/custom/click/com.canonical.scopes.dashboard/4.7.0/com.canonical.scopes.dashboard_dashboard.ini

but this does nothing, today scope is never refreshed until i swipe down, so, at least for me, this bug is not resolved
