Disabled/enabled status does not change on update.

[DamnedScholar]

When you add a project without a path, it is added as disabled (styled in dark grey, with a strikethrough, and a cursor that turns into a "do not enter" sign). If you then update the project and add a path, it continues to be disabled. Reloading the window will fix this (changing the state of the project to what it should be). This behavior also happens in reverse (so a project whose path has been removed does not become disabled until the package is re-initialized).

list-item-component.js (where validate() resides) can't be required in utilities.js because it invokes functions that (at that point) haven't been declared yet and the compiler balks.

Not sure whether it would be more effective to re-create validate() inside updateItem() (and suck up the duplication) or have the if (changes.paths) block send a signal that tells the sidebar to rerun validate() when an item is updated. Probably the latter.

Thanks for reporting this. Your feedback is being awesome

[jccguimaraes]

fixed :)

[DamnedScholar]

Works perfectly. Thanks. :)

The simplicity of the solution is pleasantly surprising. I feel like my JS noobishness is showing through, because I didn't notice that itemView was capable of that. Now I know.

[jccguimaraes]

why do you say that? Do you know how much time it took me to fix this? "if (changes.paths) block send a signal that tells the sidebar to rerun validate() when an item is updated" you just pointed me to the right direction. You were capable of interpreting someone else's code and for me that's the most challenging part of being a developer, and this is JS.... :) so cheer up mate!

I say that because I was convinced that itemView just referred to the item itself and I didn't make the connection that it would also have access to the list item methods like validate().

Interpreting code is easy as long as variable and function names are human-readable. I've always been able to take known vocabulary in unknown logical patterns and translate into whatever native pseudocode my brain thinks in. Sometimes it takes a lot of time iterations and following code back and forth across multiple files.

I don't mean to come off as if I'm mopey or putting myself down. I'm just rambling. I tend to over-explain things sometimes.
