Description Ernie 2011-03-05 16:18:53 UTC

The text in the upper right corner of the page indicates when the page was last updated. However, when the update fails, there is no indication. The text still shows that the page was updated.

If cumin is stopped or restarted while the page is still displayed, the background updates will silently fail.

The "page updated indicator" should show when an update failed and the time it happened.

To reproduce:
Display a cumin page
Stop cumin
The page updated indicator will continue to change, even though the page updates are failing.

Or

Display a cumin page
Wait for the page updated indicator to turn into a "Resume Updates" button
restart cumin
Press the Resume Updates button
The page updated indicator will change, but the page will not actually get updated. This is because the user needs to re-login first.
