Description

Users have reported that the status message under projects in the Home screen will give wrong or misleading information. A couple of examples of this behaviour as follows:

  • The project was just synchronised but the status message states that it was last updated 2 weeks ago:

  • The user says they synchronised the project and the status shows it is up-to-date for a few minutes but then goes back to 'Pending changes to synchronise' when there are no local changes

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on the Home screen: synchronise a project and observe the status immediately and after several minutes. Trace how the Home screen obtains project update and pending-change information. Done means the displayed last-updated and synchronisation status remain accurate when there are no local changes.
