Why aren't my pending changes being shown in RTC?

Question

Scenario: I've just connected to a stream, and created a new repository workspace. I loaded the 2 components of it, and modified some code. If i open the Pending Changes view, i can't see any pending changes there (and my "show full view" is selected, so I should be seeing both the incoming, outgoing and suspended change sets).

My files are saved and i can obviously see the changes in the files, but no pending changes appear in the pending changes view.

Answer 1

For your changes to be displayed in the "Pending Change Views", you need to:

• either refresh your package explorer (i.e. an Eclipse-related view)
• or click on the little arrow next to the "refresh" button on your "Pending Changes" view and select:
  • refresh Sandbox and Remote Changes
  • or "refresh Sandbox"

(I tend to prefer the second method, because it allows me to chose what part of the -- potentially huge -- sandbox I need to refresh)

Answer 2

I tried @VonC's suggestions which were helpful to my understanding, but they didn't work for me.

To get my changes to display in the Pending Changes view, I had to right click on the stream in the Team Artifacts view, Log Out, and then log back in.
