Deficiency when browsing changed categories

Richard Sargent
Administrator
When browsing the changed in an application, if the only changes are categorization changes, the change browser shows the class but doesn't show any methods. I understand that this is due to the fact that the change did not create a new method edition. Still, it is a frustrating and somewhat dangerous shortcoming. It is easy to mis-remember and "conclude" that whatever change was made was also backed out, and so choose to discard that class edition.

Hi Richard,
Yes, this is a known limitation. Same happens if the change is in a subapp on a config expression that wasn't loaded. For example, if you are on Windows and the change was on a Unix-only subapp, you also will see it empty (like no change). We have a development case opened for address both of them (65297).
Best,

Thanks!

I am less concerned about the failure to show changes in unloaded sub-applications, as I do understand the distinction between comparing the loaded code to the corresponding version in the repository versus comparing two versions from the repository irrespective of what's loaded in the image. (And yes, sometimes I get confused by what I can and cannot do when browsing changes between two arbitrary versions in the repository. But, it usually is pretty brief before I go "Oh yeah. It has to work that way.")


Best,
