Refreshing doesn't work

[talmobi]

Reopening agenda view or pressing r for refreshing doesn't work. I have to quick vim entirely for new tasks to be visible. Sometimes saving (pressing s) works but not for getting new tasks.

You may have to use ., what you describe typically happens when you've had vim running past the current day and dotoo agenda still treats the previous date as current date

Status update: If I manually open the dotoo buffer (refile.dotoo in this case) I get a warning that it has changed since the last time it was opened. After I open it and open the agenda view again it shows the new tasks. But pressing r or . does not work.

I set an autocmd to authored *.dotoo files, but that still didn't fix the issue -- but now when I open the refile.dotoo buffer the warning no longer shows up (autoread automatically loads it without showing the warning).

I also tried the mapping fix that you did in your last commit for the 'C' key mapping but that didn't seem to do anything.

@talmobi I am going to take a look at this if it is an issue from dotoo

[talmobi]

@dhruvasagar I'll take a video demonstrating the behaviour later today

@talmobi that will be helpful, thanks!

@talmobi Thanks for your efforts, I was able to reproduce this and I have a fix ready. I am just a little vary of how this fix works on older versions of vim.

[dhruvasagar]

@talmobi Do check the commit for your reference. Thanks for reporting this issue and for your help.

@dhruvasagar I can confirm it's working for me~

[talmobi]

@dhruvasagar btw out of interest, do you have any speculation to why it was working for you and others earlier? But was not working for me?

Or were you using vim-dotoo differently where you would not notice this issue? Am I using it wrong?

Thanks~

@talmobi This bug was introduced fairly recently, basically like described in the commit we moved to using writefile api instead of opening a buffer and edit the file with the help of vimscript (this being slower and requires unnecessary overhead of managing cursor positions etc). I believe I just hadn't noticed this because when you navigate to the refile file manually, it gets updated (the buffer) with changes applied by writefile and dotoo then works as expected, however if you didn't do that it would still see the old data from the buffer. This could also happen if the buffers were updated outside of vim. I just don't create a lot of todos on a daily basis to notice this.

@dhruvasagar thanks~
