Caching

Hello! I've noticed sometimes that the files listed with ListFile()are out-of-date. Is there a cache? Can I programmatically empty the cache?

[shcheklein]

hmm, ListFile() should not be cache as far as I remember. How do you run it?

def _dict_of_gdrive_files(self, folder_id: str) -> "dict[str, GoogleDriveFile]":
            files = self._google_drive.ListFile({"q": f"trashed=false and '{folder_id}' in parents"}).GetList()
            return {f["title"]: f for f in files}

and how / where do you see those out-of-date files? at what stage? running it the first time, or after?

[Enkidu93]

I create a file within a folder then call this a few lines later and there aren't consistently files.

so, there is not caching on the PyDrive2 itself. Can be that GDrive needs some time? Hard to tell. Share the full code please. Try to add some sleep in between to at least do some experiements / confirm
