Description
Ankur Sharma
On what repository did you observe this? Did you see the progress indicator in the dialog? Were you able to cancel? repository: bugs.eclipse.org I was able to cancel but that too took a while. I would prefer it to refresh in background. possible reason: Slow internet connection that moment. I am OK if it takes long but it should not hold the UI until it completes. May be we can make the query dialog non-modal. Or some way to refresh the attributes in a background job. The repository configuration attributes are regularly refreshed in the background. If you want to manually trigger a refresh in the background you can use the popup menu in the Task Repositories view. Note that bugs.eclipse.org mirrors the configuration which can sometimes cause a delay when new values are added to the configuration: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylyn_FAQ#Why_are_my_updated_repository_attributes_not_showing_up.3F . In your case it sounds like you keep getting a stale configuration which causes values to get lost. If you go to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/config.cgi in a browser, where does that redirect you? Do you have any Mylyn extensions such as Tasktop installed? *** Bug 321054 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I had opened another Bug 321054 for attribute problem. It is understandable that new attributes takes a while to get replicated. But here I have them and after I update to next I-build, some of them are gone! and unfortunately they are the ones I need. The link https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/config.cgi redirects me to http://d2u376ub0heus3.cloudfront.net/arch/config.xml I do not have any extension installed. Only these two features Mylyn Connector: Bugzilla 3.4.0.v20100608-0100-e3x org.eclipse.mylyn.bugzilla_feature.feature.group Mylyn Task List (Required) 3.4.0.v20100608-0100-e3x org.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group This particular bug is more about not being able to work while the modal dialog refreshes the attributes (which in my case is slow). I am reopening Bug 321054 to track the attribute refresh issue while this one to blocked UI problem. I believe both the problems are quite different. I don't see any simple way to run the refreshing of attributes in the background since the query dialog is currently modal. I understand that this an annoyance particularly if the refresh takes a long time, e.g. for Bugzilla repositories with many products. I am open to improving the UI interaction if anyone has good suggestions how to design the workflow. Mylyn has been restructured, and our issue tracking has moved to GitHub [1].
