Caching metadata takes tiiiime

[rappen]

Not sure where the annoying issue should be submitted, but I'll start here since this is where it is cached.

It takes 10-120 seconds (edited) every time I open FetchXML Builder, which uses the cached metadata by default settings.
It is tucked with this panel:

This is the code that calls it:

plugin.ConnectionDetail.MetadataCacheLoader.ConfigureAwait(false).GetAwaiter().GetResult()?.EntityMetadata;

Any clues?

Any time into the minutes songs like something has gone wrong, especially 120 minutes! In my testing it would normally take more like 20 seconds to refresh the cache.

It should normally be possible to have this loading in the background rather than blocking the user while it’s loading - is it possible to get FXB to only try to use the cache once it has loaded rather than wait for it?

Oups, I meant seconds... 😬

It is possible by unchecking this:

By default, it is checked, since it's nice to have everything loaded when we start working.

Honestly, we have had to wait a longer time in the newest version than before, my gut feeling says.
Anyway, I have now implemented four flavors on how to get the metadata in BDU: https://jonasr.app/bdu/releases/#1.2025.8.1
It's probably time to just close this issue unless you have any new ideas.
