[epirus]

Describe the bug

maybe it's buffer cache
I use the cursor just use the below code fix problem but I dont whether it will affect the buffer feature

---Reload the file if it has been modified
---@return OrgPromise<OrgFile>
function OrgFile:reload()

  local lines = {}
  local f = io.open(self.filename, "r")
  if f then
    for line in f:lines() do
      table.insert(lines, line)
    end
    f:close()
  end
  -- clean memoize cache
  self.get_headlines = nil
  self.get_top_level_headlines = nil
  self.get_headlines_including_archived = nil
  self.root = nil
  self.parser = nil
  return Promise.resolve(self:_update_lines(lines))
end

It should detect that the file is changed and reload it. Try this:

1. Modify the file externally with that box software
2. In Neovim, before you attempt to rebuild the agenda with r, run this with your filename (full absolute path to file):

:lua= require('orgmode').files:get('/path/to/your/file.org'):is_modified()

let me know what it returns.

[epirus]

it return false

you can try

1. open neovim
2. open agenda

echo "1" >> note.org

4. press r to refresh
5. lua= require('orgmode').files:get('/path/to/your/note.org'):is_modified()

I think it will return false

[kristijanhusak]

At the moment you get the feedback, it should be already reloaded. Try this:

1. Open neovim
2. Open agenda
3. Append valid agenda entry for today:

echo "* TODO test\nDEADLINE: <2025-07-03>" >> note.org   

4. press r to refresh
5. New item should appear in the agenda

I found the problem
The box sync wont have the nsec data structure But to edit a file at local system and it will have nsec data

{
  nsec = 0,
  sec = 1751608936
}

the nsec make the

is_modified 

function invalid

Actually I tried the mtime compare and it will stuck the nvim

So I think the mtime.sec will be better for comparing. Or use the file hash

I pushed a fix to fallback to seconds in case when nanoseconds are 0. Can you pull latest master and give it a test?
