Listen for metadata updates in the activity frame

[erikos]

• open an activity
• change the title using the entry field of the activity

result: entry in the Journal is updated, the activity palette in the home view is updated, too, the title in the activity palette in the frame is not updated

• open an activity
• change the entry title in the journal
• the activity palette in the home view is updated, the title in the activity palette in the frame is not updated and the title in the activity title box is neither. Even better when closing the activity, the title in the journal is set to the old one.

Looks like a regression to me.

I'm not so sure it's a regression, but surely something good to have fixed.

[erikos]

I thought that it worked before :) Anyhow, at least the second part is not good.

Replying to erikos:

• open an activity
• change the title using the entry field of the activity

result: entry in the Journal is updated, the activity palette in the home view is updated, too, the title in the activity palette in the frame is not updated

thats not a regression(at least from 0.84), but yeah, better to fix it

• open an activity
• change the entry title in the journal
• the activity palette in the home view is updated, the title in the activity palette in the frame is not updated and the title in the activity title box is neither. Even better when closing the activity, the title in the journal is set to the old one.

I guess, thats a core issue of sugar(and not only 0.86),
activity(after opening) caches jobject and if it doesn't track jobject events(I didn't see such activities) after next write_file() it stores cached values and overwrites existed.

about first test case,

 alsroot │ tomeu: do you think we should fix first issue of http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1474?
 alsroot │ ..in 0.86
 alsroot │ .2
   tomeu │ alsroot: I would say depending on the fix
       * │ alsroot looks to code
 alsroot │ tomeu: what do you think about adding ds listener to sugar/src/jarabe/model/shell.py:Activity class? to track title
         │ changes
   tomeu │ alsroot: sounds good to me
   tomeu │ alsroot: we should take care of cycles, though
 alsroot │ tomeu: yeah, thats the original question, can such changes be landed to 0.86
   tomeu │ alsroot: don't think so :/
       * │ alsroot splits #1474 to two issues and target them to 0.88
   tomeu │ that sounds good, yeah

[alsroot]

second test case is dup of #1358

[erikos]

This ticket will now handle the activity frame update. Look for the Journal one in #1358.

[sascha_silbe]

What's the status of this? Will we fix the frame for 0.88 or stall to 0.90?

[erikos]

No fix for this one yet, so I guess we will move it to 0.90. It is not a blocker after all.
