rejecting invites from appservice rooms isn't reflected in /sync responses

[ara4n]

i have 30 stuck invites i can't reject from oftc channel invite spam

[ara4n]

this is a regression.

Does it work if you make a new incognito tab and log in with your account?

I can't repro this locally, trying on matrix.org

[dbkr]

No luck reproing this. Are you still unable to reject the invites?

[dbkr]

Right, I think this is actually the UI just not updating to remove the room from the left hand list. Theory: the list is updated when the leave call returns rather than when our membership of the room changes

The symptoms of this were:

• further attempts to reject would result in 'Room does not exist'
• clearing the client cache would make the invite disappear

matrix-org/synapse#2056 fixes it for synapse 0.20.

Clearing the client cache on Android has no effect, i.e. the invite still can't be rejected. I don't know how to clear the client cache for riot.im in Chromium, other than force-reload…?

[kegsay]

If you are using /develop there is a reset cache button in user settings. If you're using /app then force-refresh should be enough.

Okay, found it, all the way at the bottom (using /develop). Unfortunately, this has no effect and the invites still can't be rejected.

FTR, @madduck 's issue was investigated and resolved at matrix-org/synapse#1987
