this PR fixes: #3953

when an AbstractSourceProvider fires fireSourceChanged(), the EvaluationService contextUpdater listener was updating the legacy expression context variable but never sending REQUEST_ENABLEMENT_UPDATE_TOPIC on the event broker.

as a result, ToolBarManagerRenderer (which listens for that topic) was never notified, so toolbar items relying on custom source providers with enabledWhen expressions stayed frozen until a focus change accidentally triggered an update

fix: send REQUEST_ENABLEMENT_UPDATE_TOPIC after each source change originating from a registered ISourceProvider (both single-variable and multi-variable variants). This makes the toolbar enablement update automatic and consistent with requestEvaluation() and the RAT updater, which already send this event.

added two regression tests to EvaluationServiceTest:

  • testSourceProviderFiresEnablementUpdateEvent: verifies that a single-variable fireSourceChanged() sends REQUEST_ENABLEMENT_UPDATE_TOPIC
  • testSourceProviderMultiVarFiresEnablementUpdateEvent: verifies the same for the multi-variable (Map) form of the source change

Pull request overview

This PR addresses #3953 by ensuring that enablement updates for toolbar contribution items are triggered automatically when an AbstractSourceProvider reports source changes, aligning fireSourceChanged() behavior with existing requestEvaluation() and RAT-driven enablement refresh behavior.

Changes:

  • Send UIEvents.REQUEST_ENABLEMENT_UPDATE_TOPIC on the event broker after single-variable and multi-variable ISourceProviderListener#sourceChanged(...) updates in EvaluationService.
  • Add regression tests intended to verify that source-provider-driven changes trigger REQUEST_ENABLEMENT_UPDATE_TOPIC.

Both added tests pass without the corresponding change in EvaluationService. Please double check & please if you update PR, rebase first on master.

When an AbstractSourceProvider fires fireSourceChanged(), the EvaluationService
contextUpdater listener was updating the legacy expression context variable but
never sending REQUEST_ENABLEMENT_UPDATE_TOPIC on the event broker.

As a result, ToolBarManagerRenderer (which listens for that topic) was never
notified, so toolbar items relying on custom source providers with enabledWhen
expressions stayed frozen until a focus change accidentally triggered an update.

Fix: send REQUEST_ENABLEMENT_UPDATE_TOPIC after each source change originating
from a registered ISourceProvider (both single-variable and multi-variable
variants). This makes the toolbar enablement update automatic and consistent
with requestEvaluation() and the RAT updater, which already send this event.

Tests: added two regression tests to EvaluationServiceTest:

  fireSourceChanged() sends REQUEST_ENABLEMENT_UPDATE_TOPIC
- testSourceProviderMultiVarFiresEnablementUpdateEvent: verifies the same for

ratUpdater already sends REQUEST_ENABLEMENT_UPDATE_TOPIC/ALL_ELEMENT_ID on every re-run (EvaluationService.java:83), and HandlerProxy registers eagerly in its constructor via addEvaluationListener → addEvaluationReference, which puts username into ratVariables. changeVariable writes through legacyContext.addVariable → context.set(name, value), which is exactly what the RAT tracks with context.getActive(var).

That chain should already fire for your reported case. Adding a second unconditional send papers over whatever actually breaks it.

Can you explain why the ratUpdater is not triggered in your case?

Looking at your tests IEventBroker.send is synchronous so I don't think you are testing correctly (asychronous update failure).
