Hi there! I’m trying to teach myself purging by reading up on the docs. To start, I created a purge rule in my app_settings.json that looks like this:
"purge": {
"fn": "function(userCtx, contact, reports, messages) { const old = Date.now(); return reports.filter(r => r.reported_date < old).map(r => r._id);}",
"text_expression": "every 5 seconds"
},
I’ve ensured I’ve pushed it to my instance:
cht --url=https://medic:password@192-168-68-26.my.local-ip.co upload-app-settings
and at first, I thought it worked because it immediately purged some reports I had for my offline test user. However, then I created another report and synchronized (even 3 or 4 (10!!) times to be sure), but the reports were still showing for my offline user. Even more oddly, the report showed as being purged! Here’s a screenshot showing report ID 52c24f39-eadd-4979-9346-87718e2122d1 as having been purged, but still avail to the offline user (they’re two different browser containers, don’t worry ; )
Eventually, the report will get purged. Maybe 10 or 15 min later?
I for sure assume that a purge time of “every 5 seconds” is comically short for any realistic deployment, but having something longer makes it harder to learn purging. Maybe there’s a way to create reports with specific creation times and then continually re-upload them to test that way?
Any advice is much appreciated!
