Registries counter in the sidebar is wrong after cluster is restarted

[xingzhang-suse]

Setup

• Rancher version: Unknown (flavio reported the issue in neuvector/security-ui-exts without Rancher version.)
• Rancher UI Extensions: SOMBScanner UI extension 0.5.0
• Browser type & version:

Describe the bug
The number in the sidebar for resource page records is not showing correct.

To Reproduce

1. Deploy SBOMscanner backend + UI extension on a single node cluster (I'm using minikube)
2. Add Registry with manual scanning
3. In the left sidebar, the number next to "Registries Configuration" is 1
4. Restart the cluster
5. In the left sidebar, the number next to "Registries Configuration" is 0 (instead of 1)
6. Add a new Registry, the number next to "Registries Configuration" is 1 (instead of 2)
7. Remove a Registry, the number next to "Registries Configuration" is 0 (instead of 1)

I've tried to force a reload of the page several times, it didn't help. I've even done that ~10 minutes after the cluster was restarted. Still no result.

Result
The menu always shows wrong number after step 4

Expected Result
It should always show correct number according to the realtime record count in the table

Additional context
If there is any questions regarding reproduction, please contact flavio

@flavio would you be able to update with rancher and sbom extension versions?

@xingzhang-suse can you advise how the extension adds the section to the side bar, is a native kube resource or ui virtual resource?

Sure, I can update to a dev version of Rancher and of the sbomscanner UI extension. I just need some instructions about how to do that 😄

[richard-cox]

Sorry, badly worded question! Would you be able to update the description, or add in a comment, the version of rancher and ui extension?

@richard-cox it is native kube resource page not a custom page which uses virtualType for the menu.

These are the details of the environment:

• Rancher: v2.13.2
• Dashboard: v2.13.2
• Rancher CLI: v2.13.2
• Helm: v3.19.0-rancher1
• Machine: v0.15.0-rancher137
• sbomscanner Rancher UI: 0.5.0

@richard-cox we can close this one as a "no issue". The SBOMscanner UI doesn't show the namespace filter at the top of the page (there's already a bug for that). It turns out the number on the sidebar was impacted by the namespace filter being in place.

You can close this issue.

Thanks for the update @flavio.

This has bitten us all at some point. It's not obvious that the "tie fighter" icon in the side bar indicates that the resource is namespaced, and as such the list will be affected by the project/namespace filter in the header. There's a UX issue somewhere that would address this, can't find it atm but will chase with the team.
