Re: [platform-debug-dev] ElementContentProvider returns some children but IModelSelectionPolicy#replaceInvalidSelection is called as if the children were missing in the tree viewer

I have not seen/heard of this issue before.

You could try turning on some tracing options to see if it helps debug the 
problem, such as:

debug/viewers/contentProvider
debug/viewers/deltas
debug/viewers/updateSequence

[platform-debug-dev] ElementContentProvider returns some children but 
IModelSelectionPolicy#replaceInvalidSelection   is called as if the

Sent by:

Hello,

In some reproducible scenario my implementation of ElementContentProvider 
returns correct children (stack frames), however when viewer tries to set 
a selection on a top frame, it is not in the in the viewer's tree. 
Therefore IModelSelectionPolicy#replaceInvalidSelection method is called. 
In the latter can confirm that indeed children just returned by the 
ElementContentProvider did not make it to the tree. 

Once the selection calculated by IModelSelectionPolicy has been set, 
however, I can see the children in question happily attached to their 
parent (thread) in the LaunchView.

Not being able to set selection on the model's children breaks the debug 
context, updates of the VariablesView and does other bad things. The user 
has to know that he must manually select a child in order to proceed with 
the debugging process.

It seems that the updates from the model somehow get to the viewer AFTER 
the selection is being attempted to be set for the top child (frame). 

How can I prevent this seemingly concurrent issue? From what I read here 
http://www.slideshare.net/guest3bd2a12/debug-tutorial-custom-integration-presentation-668660 
asynchronous ElementContentProvider is supposed to notify its listeners on 
the completion of the child updates. It seems that somehow this 
notification happens either out of order, or the content of the child 
updates is somehow get broken.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
