vykar-gui snaphshots display way to many snapshots after backups with two repos

[goebbe]

Testing vykar-gui 0.12.2 with scheduled backups I have the following issue:

With two repositories, after automatic refresh, e.g. at the end of scheduled backups,
way to many snapshots that are already pruned are re-displayed in the snapshots tab of vykar-gui.
Edit: it is not pruned snapshots, see next comment.

Expected view:

• only the snapshot of the current repo, that remain after pruning, are displayed

Issue:

• after the scheduled backup, already pruned to many snapshots reappear in the snapshot view.

Refreshing, or switching the repository in the Snapshot view, solves the issue and shows the remaining snapshots, correctly.

• This is in a setting with two repositories: a local and sftp repo.
• This happens with scheduled backups AND when executing "Backup All"
• vykar list displays the correct number of snapshots
• The issue does not appear with only one repo (e.g. when the NAS repo is commented).

The attached screenshots show what happens. Note that only one new backup has been executed between the screenshots. Due to pruning, the total number of displayed snapshot should not change.

Snapshot view before the scheduled backup:

Snapshot view directly after the next scheduled backup:

These are potentially relevant parts of my config:

repositories:
  - label: "local"
    url: /home/goebbe/.vykar_test_repo
  - label: "NAS"
    url: "sftp://goebbe@NAS/backup/vykar_test_repo"

retention:
  keep_last: 3
  keep_daily: 7
  keep_weekly: 4

schedule:
  enabled: true
  every: "5m"

Two observations:

• In my snapshot view for the NAS repo, there are timestamps that could not possibly be there.
• The number of wrongly displayed snapshots does not seem to grow with new snapshots.

A closer look shows that after a backup/ prune the remaining snapshots of both repositories seem to be shown in the same snapshot view.

So my claim, that already pruned snapshots were shown was apparently wrong.

Thanks for the detailed report and screenshots — very helpful.

This is a confirmed GUI bug. After "Backup All" or scheduled backups, the snapshot refresh loads snapshots from all configured repositories into the table instead of only the currently selected one. The core engine and CLI are not affected (vykar list is always correct).

The fix is straightforward — the post-backup refresh needs to respect the currently selected repository in the snapshot view combo box instead of loading all repos. Will be in the next release.

As a workaround, switching the repository selector in the Snapshots tab (or clicking Refresh) immediately corrects the display.
