Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-26148:
-------------------------------------
I would prefer this issue be voted on by more people. This was committed in this way
because if a user does not update their path, we don't want many actions slowing down
the IDE by repeatedly searching for a path that isn't there.
One example is the polling mechanism. It could issue a new polling request once every x
miliseconds. Do we want it to have to run a `which` or similar command each and every time
it's about to poll?
I suppose I could add something like an expiration so it only checks once every 5 minutes
or something. But the goal is to not slow down the environment through repeated
unnecessary commands.

Key: JBIDE-26148
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-26148
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: openshift
Affects Versions: 4.6.0.AM3
Reporter: Andre Dietisheim
Assignee: Rob Stryker
[CommandLocationBinary|https://github.com/adietish/jbosstools-openshift/bl...]
allows to lookup a command (on the $PATH, etc.). But it'll only do so once:
{code:title=CommandLocationBinary}
public String findLocation(int timeout) {
if (foundLoc != null || searchFailed)
return foundLoc;
String searched = CommandLocationLookupStrategy.get().search(this, timeout);
if (searched == null) {
searchFailed = true;
}
foundLoc = searched;
return searched;
}
{code}
Once the lookup failed, it'll store this in the var *searchFailed* and wont do it a
2nd time.
What if I update my PATH while I keep Eclipse running?
I'd think that one should be able to repeat the lookup if it fails since the user
could modify it's system while he keeps Eclipse running. Afaics the current impl
forces me to restart Eclipse once I changed my $PATH.
