Git Staging view not updating on adding/removing files to/from the index [message #1842350]

Just starting with EGit on 2021-06. When moving changes between staged and unstaged lists in the Staging View using the +/- buttons or dnd the lists do not get updated automatically, the underlying index however is correctly updated so a manual Refresh does fix the stale UI. Anyone else?

No. Works normally for me, and there have been no code changes in this part of the code.

Any errors in the Eclipse log? (In your workspace, at metadata/log.)

What platform (Windows/Linux/OS X)? Which OS version exactly? If Linux: which gtk version, and X11 or Wayland?

The files being staged are present in the Eclipse workspace (i.e., somewhere in the Package or Project explorer in some Eclipse project)? Or are they outside the Eclipse workspace (but of course in the git working tree)?

There has been one minor change in a related area. Although I don't think it has anything to do with this, let's make sure:

Anything special about the paths of the files being staged/unstaged? What are the path names?

Anything special about the path name of the repository?

I'm on Windows 10, Java package with C++ and Mylyn plugins added. There were some errors in the log about SWT resources not properly disposed or something to that extent, I don't think it was EGit related, at least I couldn't see anything EGit related in the stack trace and those errors would not get logged at the time I was changing the index in the staging view. I closed all perspectives and restarted the IDE. Now it works as expected. Go figure.

The files are in the workspace but physically located outside of the workspace directory. The .git folder is at the root of the project, I think it is not recommended but should still work. The project is trivial - half a dozen files. Nothing special about the paths, project root is C:\Users\user.domain\git\project, workspace location is C:\Users\user.domain\eclipse-workspace\sandbox

I'll report if I see it again. Thanks.

A lot of my students are having the same problem on Eclipse 4.20 on Windows 10: the Git Staging window doesn't show when files get staged. Even the project explorer doesn't show changes, until the project is closed and opened again.

Was any solution identified for this problem?
I am also facing same issue with Eclipse IDE 2021-06 (4.20).
I have to restart eclipse every time for files to move to staged area.

I think this may be bug 574806, but I'm not entirely sure. Bug 574806 was fixed in EGit 5.13, so update your EGit.
