File Cache Conflict

[scriptacus]

Not sure of an exact repro, but using the Alpha 4 release of the 2017.1 version of the plugin I get the "File Cache Conflict" popup every 5-10 minutes.

Thanks for trying out the new Alpha!

Have you been able to identify if the popup happens when you're editing the contents of a Perforce-backed file, or creating a file, or some other operation? Or does it seem to happen when you aren't doing anything?

I've seen this happen twice in my environment, and each time was due to me reverting the file through the command line, which made sense in that context.

Typically happens during heavy iteration of perforce backed files I think. I do a lot of editing followed by alt+tab to another application, back and forth. I think idea automatically saves the file any time the window loses focus.

Thanks. This might be related to how the "change" object is created by the plugin; altering that object may trigger a refresh from the IDE. I'll put some additional logging around it and inspect that code path carefully.

Alpha 6 is now out. I added a few extra bits of code to try to help this out, but I don't know if it does anything. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce the issue locally.

Is this still happening in the released version of 0.10.0?
