Hi all, I usually use the “Create deployment for this device” button in the device details to start a deployment. When I do so, the artifact selection dropdown list does not contain artifacts uploaded in my current web session. I have to logout and login again to be able to select the artifact. I don’t recall if this applies to the artifacts list in the main screen as well. I’ll check the next time I upload an artifact. I’m using `Chromium Version 90.0.4430.212 (Entwickler-Build) built on Debian 10.9, running on Debian 10.10 (64-Bit)` in case it matters. Best regards, Manuel ---

Hi Manuel, Are you uploading pre-built .mender artifacts or just a file? I’m asking because there is some processing being done server-side when uploading artifacts. Can you check if waiting a minute or two solves the issue (without logout and login)? Best regards, Krzysztof ---

Hi @kjaskiewiczz , we’re uploading pre-built artifacts. I realized that there is server-side delay of about 1 to 2 minutes, but this is not that. The artifacts don’t show up even after 10 minutes. Regards, Manuel ---

Which version of mender you’re using? hosted? Regards, Krzysztof ---

Hi @kjaskiewiczz, Stupid me, should have provided that info in the initial post. We’re using hosted mender. Uploading is done with `mender-artifact version 3.3.0`. edit: My browser is Chromium `Version 90.0.4430.212 (Entwickler-Build) built on Debian 10.9, running on Debian 10.10 (64-Bit)` in case that’s of interest. ---

An artifact got uploaded by our CI just now and it was selectable in the dropdown list without loggoing out&in. Guess the problem is either solved or manifests only sporadically. But I swear I observed it, several times. Made sure the artifact name is correct and it’s the logout&login which makes it appear, as they were of different “age”. So it’s not just that they appeared just 10min after upload or so, but once I made them appear 10mins after upload with logout&login, sometimes 20min or 40min. It was always the logout&login which reliable made them appear. I’ll give notice once I observe it again. ---

Hi @manuel_vps, the UI gets an updated list of releases every 30s, but thanks to your question I realized, that this is only done when you actually are (for more than 30s) on the releases page. I will address this shortly and will let you know once it lands on Hosted Mender. Regards, another Manuel ---

Hi @mzedel , I was indeed on the releases page during my [latest test above](https://hub.mender.io/t/selecting-a-recently-uploaded-artifact-for-deployment-only-possible-after-re-login/4107/6), so that confirms your assessment. Great! Feel free to drop the mender issue tracker ticket number here. I’ve got an account there (username `manuel_wagesreither`) and am already watching few tickets. If you’d allow me to add a watch, I’d get notified automatically and you wouldn’t need to remember and inform manually. Best regards, Manuel
