- In Tasklist, when viewing a tasks details
- If the task is deleted (or re-assigned) while its details view is open, I get a notification that informs me that the task does not exist anymore
- Notification contains a way to clear the current task detail view
Hint:
- We would need to perform additional requests to observe the task, similar to the auto-refresh feature for the list of tasks
This is the controller panel for Smart Panels app
[CAM-7058] I get a notification when the currently selected task is deleted
I added the re-assignement to the description.
Shouldn't we use an other wording than "deleted" in the status message?
Something like "not available" maybe...
The refresh interval should be the same as for the list of tasks with auto-refresh enabled (10 seconds). Actually, the two requests for the list of tasks and for the single task should be in sync with each other, otherwise a task may be removed from the list but is still enabled in the detail view or vice-versa. A (potentially) naive idea would be to use the system time to synchronize the two intervals, e.g. doing a request whenever the system clock displays xx:xx:x0.
The message to close the task should be more descriptive, e.g. "Close Task", instead of just "Dismiss" as dismiss can be misinterpret as "Dismiss this notification only".
I am not sure our standard notification system is the best choice for displaying the notification. Right now we run into the following problem:
- open task detail view-utils
- open process start process modal
- task is completed
- notification is displayed in the process start modal
(same with edit filter and probably also other modals)
Maybe we need a dedicated place in the task detail view itself to display the notification.
There is a lot of whitespace in the task file. Maybe we should have a comment instead to mark the begin and end of the task observation logic.
We should also disable the Complete button of the task form when we notice that the task does not exist anymore
The refresh of the list of tasks always happens now, even if when auto-refresh option is not checked.
If possible, we could give the user some visual feedback that the task detail tab cannot be changed anymore (e.g. with a cursor: not-allowed style).
I am not super happy with a test, that always waits 10 seconds, but I am not sure how to test it otherwise. I would be fine with removing the test.
Wouldn't it be better to have the task details "frozen" or even better IMVHO simply hidden rather than allowing the user to close?
It might be surprising for the user and appear to be a bit radical / brutal, sure, but in the end and whatever, the user has to pick a new task to complete...
Selecting the next task automatically would be to much though.
