Codespaces Delete API and List API not in sync

[ronakj]

I was working on an integration with Codespaces API. I have noticed that when I delete a codespace using the delete API and then call the List Codespaces in Repo for Auth user API, the list still contains the deleted codespace. It takes around 20-25 seconds for the codespaces to be removed from the List API.

Not a big issue but annoying when trying to integrate using the API.

Edit: Seems to be due to HTTP Caching on browser - I assume that the list API response is sending some wrong cache signals to the client.

If anyone else stumbles into this issue I worked around it by passing a random string query parameter to invalidate browser cache

await octokit.rest.codespaces.listInRepositoryForAuthenticatedUser({
        owner: this.state.codespacesConfig.ghBridgeRepoOwner,
        repo: this.state.codespacesConfig.ghBridgeRepoName,
        // Sending a random param to invalidate browser cache as GH seems to be sending
        // wrong cache signals in this API
        test: Math.random().toString(36).slice(2, 12),
});
