check_and_force_update_vehicles() seems not to work

[awenius]

First of all, thanks a lot for the great work on this package!

• Hyundai / Kia Connect version: 3.9
• Python version: 3.10
• Operating System: Windows and Debian Linux

Description

Despite calling check_and_force_update_vehicles(1) the vehicle data is always from the last cached point in time.

What I Did

Tried various parameters for check_and_force_update_vehicles() including 0, 1, 60 and 600.

from hyundai_kia_connect_api import *
import json
import datetime

vehicle_id = 'xxx'
vm = VehicleManager(region=1, brand=1, username="xxx", password="xxx", pin="", language="de")
vm.check_and_refresh_token()
vm.check_and_force_update_vehicles(1)  
dict = vars(list(vm.vehicles.values())[0])
print(f"current time: {datetime.datetime.now()}")
last_updated_at = dict["last_updated_at"]
print(f"last updated at: {last_updated_at}")

The code above yields the following output (example):

d:\ python refresh_test.py
current time: 2023-09-24 11:14:51.865252
last updated at: 2023-09-24 11:02:44+02:00

When I refresh the status in the KIA Connect app, the API returns the values from the moment, where the refresh command was issued in the app.

Am I doing something wrong? I'm pretty sure, this approach worked some weeks ago.
How can I get current values using the API?

Thanks to this comment #12 (comment) I realized that an additional call to update_all_vehicles_with_cached_state() is required.
This code works now:

vm.check_and_refresh_token()
vm.force_refresh_all_vehicles_states()
vm.update_all_vehicles_with_cached_state()
dict = vars(list(vm.vehicles.values())[0])
print(f"current time: {datetime.datetime.now()}")
last_updated_at = dict["last_updated_at"]
print(f"last updated at: {last_updated_at}")

This now yields the expected behavior:

d:\>python refresh_test.py
current time: 2023-09-29 21:20:05.338277
