Description Zuzana Krejčová 2013-09-13 11:50:56 UTC
Description of problem:
There is no way to manually refresh the Problems panel. It is done automatically at some predefined times/events not known to the user. The user has no way to do it himself.

The Problems Panel is refreshed whenever a file is saved; or when the Project is built. I think this needs to be simply documented.

I'm starting to think that having a way to manually refresh the Problems tab would be very useful. Trying to pinpoint a problem that blocks you from building a package is quite tedious, more so if you have to save something over and over. It seems the refresh doesn't happen if you just delete an asset or create a new one. 
The refresh also doesn't happen immediately, so as a user, I sometimes doubt that it even happened or if it did, that the change I made has made any difference.
If I could manually refresh the Problems tab, it would help a lot.

"It seems the refresh doesn't happen if you just delete an asset..."

There were a couple of other BZs for the problems panel not updating when deleting a file (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1009383 and 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1016517). These have been fixed.

"...or create a new one". This appears reasonably responsive (baring in mind there have been some changes for the Problems Panel recently, and I'll be looking at the latest code).

You can refresh the whole problems panel by performing a build from the "Project Editor" screen. If you'd still like a refresh button then I can easily add one (to perform a full build), I don't mind. I just wanted to provide some feedback/updates.

Having thought about it and having written and erased a too long response... Yes, please do add the refresh button.

I'll just point out one thing - while it is possible to perform a build from the Project Screen, that action also deploys the project, which might not always be desired in this case.

Verified with ER5. Thanks!
