[Dltk-dev] Buffer Syncronization After IFile.setContents()

[Shelby Sanders <ssanders@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

Something changed in the last week which is causing an interesting  
issue in our automated unit tests.

We use IFile.setContents() to update the content of a Ruby file, and  
then run various tests which access the ISourceModule for that file.

This was all happily working and everything stayed in sync, until I  
updated our code to use the latest sources from CVS HEAD as of  
yesterday.

Now, ISourceModule.getSource() still reports the old contents of the  
file, even after all the events have fired and the index is ready.   
Also, calling ISourceModule.makeConsistent() doesn't help, because  
ISourceModule.isConsistent() returns true causing it to return without  
doing anything.

I've temporarily worked around the issue by calling  
ISourceModule.close() then ISourceModule.open() after changing the  
file contents.

However, I'm guessing this is really just exposing a bigger issue.  In  
general, shouldn't ISourceModules detect when the underlying IFile  
changes outside of the scope of DLTK, and update themselves accordingly?

Thank You,
Shelby Sanders
