API won't return tasks that use a string as an id about svelte-gantt

[labs20]

This fix may work for rows, but its not working for tasks. And if I give numeric ids for my tasks, the gantt wont refresh when I get a new payload from the server.

Yes, it is currently not possible to update a task using the updateTask method.
If you use this method, the task is hidden. The only solution is to reset the entire gantt.

@leCheveuCodeur What's your strategy to reset the gantt?

[leCheveuCodeur]

You need to re-set gantt using the set method, passing all rows and tasks back to it.
To save on queries, you can strocker an array and just update the task concerned, then set gantt again.

Yeah, its what I'm tryingo to do, but when I reset from a scenario with fewer tasks to one witch many more tasks, the gantt wont refresh right, sometimes it keeps the old tasks, and when I do vice versa, from a tree with many tasks to a smaller task tree, it keeps the older tasks too.

The funny funny thing is that if I hit F5, it refreshs and renders itself correctly, with the same payload that it has previously failed.

// Fix for FireFox setTimeout(function(){ $('.sg-table ').css('width',301) }, 2);
IF you're on Firefox we had this refresh problem that we had to fix by simulating a change in row size, see if that helps...

I'm on chrome, but will test it anyway, thanks!

No joy. When I update the gantt from many tasks to fewer, it leaves the last old ones. Looks like no cleaning is in place when you use "set" again.

And those wont do what you'd expect:

                       this.gantt.$set({
                            rows: [],
                            tasks: [],
                            dependencies: [],
                        });
                        this.gantt.$set({
                            rows: false,
                            tasks: false,
                            dependencies: false,
                        });
                        this.gantt.$set({
                            rows: null,
                            tasks: null,
                            dependencies: null,
                        });
