Simulator upload timeout for https://api.biosimulations.org/images/refresh

[luciansmith]

What is the bug?

I got the following after passing all the tests for tellurium:

The validation/submission of your simulator failed.

• 504 Server Error: Gateway Time-out for url: https://api.biosimulations.org/images/refresh

This is being called from biosimulators_test_suite/exec_gh_action.py", line 535

        response = requests.post(self.config.runbiosimulations_api_endpoint + 'images/refresh',
                                 headers=auth_headers,
                                 json={
                                     'simulator': specifications['id'],
                                     'version': specifications['version'],
                                 })
        validate_biosimulations_api_response(response, 'A Singularity image could not be generated for the Docker image')

The problem seems to be (unless I'm wrong?) that the URL this generates doesn't exist. If I got to the URL, I get:

{"error":[{"status":"404","title":"Not Found","detail":"\"Cannot GET /images/refresh\""}]}

Put this back in Biosimulators. The issue is that the the connection goes stale almost immediately after being reset, so right now, someone has to reset things manually, then immediately run the PR.

To solve this, I can think of a few options; I don't know how tenable they are:

• Just keep resetting things manually every time.
• Figure out how to make a reset last longer.
• Put in a reset in the workflow.
