Opening the app with a widget on the home screen sent the same request to /api/stations/nearest twice. The prefetcher fetched the stations near the new fix and cached them, then the widget refresh fetched them again without looking at that cache. iOS doesn't reload its widget on foreground, so Android was sending more traffic than the app it ports. The data was right; the second request was waste.

Fix, both halves together:

  • WidgetState.refresh uses the cached snapshot as live data when it is for the same fuel, under a minute old (NearbyPrefetcher.MINIMUM_INTERVAL) and within 1 km. Anything older, further or for another fuel still asks the server, so the hourly run and a fuel change behave as before.
  • MainActivity waits for the prefetch to finish before it queues the widget refresh, so the refresh finds that snapshot. The wait runs in the Activity's background scope, so leaving the app mid-fetch doesn't drop the redraw.

Tests count FakeNearestApi calls: a prefetch followed by a widget refresh sends one request, a snapshot from 10 s ago is reused with no request, and an old, far or other-fuel snapshot still sends one. Two existing tests that check live-versus-cache behaviour now date their snapshot 5 minutes back, outside the reuse window.

The first commit adds the tests alone, so CI shows them failing before the fix lands.

Closes #49

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage for reusing recent cached results and integrating prefetching with widget refreshes.
    • Added checks that older or mismatched cached results trigger a fresh request.

Walkthrough

Widget state tests now cover reuse of fresh, matching station snapshots, fetch behavior when snapshots are ineligible, and refresh after prefetch.

Changes: Widget Cache Reuse

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cached snapshot reuse and prefetch integration
app/src/test/java/com/pumperly/app/widget/WidgetStateTest.kt
Tests cover snapshot age, distance, and fuel eligibility. The prefetch-and-refresh test verifies one API request. Existing live-results and refresh-interval tests now use a five-minute-old snapshot.

Explanation

[ #49 ] The PR adds API-call tests for cache reuse and prefetch integration. At the reviewed head, WidgetState.refresh still calls fetchNearest before it reads the cache. It cannot reuse a fresh snapshot without a request. The MainActivity read was truncated before the location callback, so its refresh ordering is not established.

Resolution

Implement fresh, nearby, same-fuel snapshot reuse in WidgetState.refresh. Confirm that MainActivity queues refreshNow after the prefetch job completes, and make the API-call tests pass.

Test a snapshot just beyond 1 km.

The far snapshot is about 2.6 km away, so a 2 km reuse cutoff would also pass this case. Add a fresh, same-fuel snapshot about 1.5 km away and assert that refresh calls the API.

Add the distance case

         val far = StationCache.Snapshot(now, FuelType.B7, 40.440, -3.705, Fixture.stations("nearest-b7"))
+        val justOver = StationCache.Snapshot(now, FuelType.B7, 40.4305, -3.705, Fixture.stations("nearest-b7"))
         val otherFuel = StationCache.Snapshot(now, FuelType.E5, 40.418, -3.705, Fixture.stations("nearest-b7"))

Assert the returned stations for each ineligible snapshot.

Use distinct cached and API stations, then assert the returned stations as well as the request count. The current loop cannot detect a cached result after a successful request.

Implement cache reuse before these tests.

WidgetState.refresh calls fetchNearest before loading the cache. The new request-count assertions therefore fail, and a completed prefetch still leads to another request. Reuse eligible snapshots before fetching, and coordinate the widget refresh with prefetch completion.
