Cache control is not working as expected in v1.5.0 [BUG]

[andry-brill]

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who introduced and developed this feature. 👍

Describe the bug

Cache disabling doesn’t work for instant queries that run without any delay.

To Reproduce
I made a test using Java + Cube REST API like this (see java code + logging at the end)

• added old entity to DB
• GET load / entity id, count(id)
• returned only old one ✅
• added new entity to DB
• GET load / entity id, count(id) (mainly to test cache)
• returned only old one ✅
• GET load / entity id, count(id) with cache = "no-cache"
• Still returned only old one 🔴

Expected behavior
Both entities should be returned when cache = "no-cache"

Version:
1.5.0

Additional context

If you need more logs or details, just let me know.

Java test

    @Test
    public void testCubeCache() {

        var oldMerchant = dataService.merchantBuilder()
                .withName("Old Cube Merchant")
                .save();

        var dto = new ReportQueryDto();
        dto.measures = List.of(Cube.merchant_id__count);
        dto.dimensions = List.of(Cube.merchant_id);
        dto.orderDescBy(Cube.merchant_id);
        dto.size = 3;

        var query = dto.build();

        var result = cubeJsService.load(walletId(), query, true);  // true = use cache
        assertTrue(containsMerchantId(result, oldMerchant.getId()));

        var newMerchant = dataService.merchantBuilder()
                .withName("New Cube Merchant")
                .save();

        assertTrue(newMerchant.getId() > oldMerchant.getId());

        var result2 = cubeJsService.load(walletId(), query, true);
        assertTrue(containsMerchantId(result2, oldMerchant.getId()));
        assertFalse(containsMerchantId(result2, newMerchant.getId()));

        var result3 = cubeJsService.load(walletId(), query, false); // false = no cache
        assertTrue(containsMerchantId(result3, oldMerchant.getId()));
        // fails on this line as resutl3 contains only one line with old one
        assertTrue(containsMerchantId(result3, newMerchant.getId())); 
    }

[hannosgit]

I came across the same problem when implementing a fix for #10107 . I think that this cache option might work when using POST instead of GET.

@hannosgit "Unfortunately" I'm using POST...
