[VW 7.4] Parcels not marked dirty bug?

Hi,

After converting to 7.4, I’m finding fairly regularly (every 5 or so builds) that parcels are not being marked as dirty when I make changes.

I can see this happening (or rather not happening) in the browser. I make a change to a method, and the Parcel still doesn’t have an asterisk.

Interestingly when I browse changed methods they still get listed even for a non dirty parcel.

My current workaround is to move a method to the same parcel, this marks the parcel as dirty.

Has anyone experienced this behaviour and is there a fix – it’s a total pain!

Cheers,

Stewart

The browser does not update the list items immediately. It needs a manual "refresh", i.e. you can simply croll up and down again so the item is redrawn.

I have been working on this issue in the framework of speeding up file-ins (actually this looks as the contrary problem, but is the same). I have not found a good solution yet. It is obvious that the message updateNavigator has to be sent, the question is when to trigger it.

This is a general problem at many places in the system: Silent system modification should be encapsulated by well-defined outer transactions, i.e. "fileIn", "loadSource", "editSource" ... that trigger comprehensive GUI updates when completed, while the actions themselves stay quiet for best performance.

Hi Andre,

This appears to be more than a UI refresh problem, as I parcel out changed parcels during the build process programmatically, and it doesn’t detect them as dirty. (So when I go to retest the previous bug is still there L)

This seems to be new behaviour since 7.2, as I didn’t notice any problems with that version.

Cheers,

Stewart
