Howdy, y'all
There was a discussion today on #chandler about error icons, and
Morgen, stearns and I wanted to clarify what determines the
various possible "error" states:
1) If a conflict arises on an item, should Chandler show an error
icon:
[Yes/No] next to the relevant collection in the sidebar
Yes.
To whoever is implementing the above error icon in the sidebar, you
can now ask the Share object if it has any conflicts via
share.hasConflicts( ).
[Yes/No] in the communication status column in the dashboard
Yes.
For a particular item, you can ask sharing.hasConflicts(item) or see
if sharing.SharedItem(item).conflictingStates has anything in it.
2) If there's an error during syncing of one particular item
that's not a conflict(*), should Chandler show an error icon:
[Yes/No] next to the relevant collection in the sidebar
Yes.
Morsecode sharing operates on a collection as an atomic unit, so
there aren't really per-item errors per se.
[Yes/No] in the communication status column in the dashboard
Yes.
Ditto.
3) If there's an error during sharing that's not associated with a
particular item (e.g. the server can't be reached), should
Chandler show an error icon:
[Yes/No] next to the relevant collection in the sidebar
Yes
This already is in place, and is the Share object's "error" attribute.
[Yes/No] in the communication status column of all its items in
the dashboard
Nooooo.
Gooooood.

(*) This would usually be the result of a client or server bug, I
think.
