Description

Dropbox files updated remotely are not showing up as updated in Brackets, although Dropbox has properly updated the files on disk.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Brackets, point to an empty Dropbox folder.
  2. Create several files in Brackets, add some information.
  3. Close Brackets.
  4. On a remote device (I used Byword on an iPad), add more content to one of the files created in Brackets.
  5. Save the file, allow Dropbox to update.
  6. Open a Terminal window, cd to the Dropbox folder, and cat the changed file to verify the local Dropbox has the latest changes.
  7. Start Brackets and open the updated file.

Expected behavior: Changes made remotely should show up in Brackets. The file content should match what is displayed in the Terminal window from step 6.

Actual behavior: The file is truncated in Brackets, as if Brackets is pulling an older copy from an internal cache. Quitting and restarting Brackets makes no difference, nor does Debug -> Reload Without Extensions. Sometimes, making changes on the local hard drive prompts Brackets to refresh its view of the file, but not always. I have not yet found a reliable workaround.

Versions

Brackets: Release 1.11 build 1.11.0-17524 (release 86b5e2d4e)

Host OS: MacOS X 10.11.6

Dropbox: v38.4.27

Hi@larrykollar,

We tried reproducing the issue at our end and are not able to reproduce it. The changes made remotely to the files are reflected in brackets as well.

Can you try opening the same set of file in another code editor and check whether the files appears to be updated there or not ?

Yes, they are. I used cat at the shell prompt and opened it with Vim.

Maybe leave Brackets open (on another file) while editing the file remotely?
