[2.1] List's refresh() method does not re-render the itemTpl

[DonM]

REQUIRED INFORMATION
Touch version tested:

• Sencha Touch 2.1.0

Browser versions tested against:

• Safari 5.1.2
• Chrome 23.0.1271.97

Description:

• When you use setItemTpl to change the template for a list, it will continue to show the old template even after calling refresh() on the list. The documentation for refresh() states that it "Refreshes the view by reloading the data from the store and re-rendering the template" but it doesn't seem to work that way. It seemed to work in Sencha Touch 2.0.1 and 1.1, but no longer works.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• create a list with an initial template
• set a new template using setItemTpl()
• call refresh() on the list

The result that was expected:

• The new template should take effect.

The result that occurs instead:

• The old template continued to show up for the list.

Test Case:

        Ext.Viewport.add(
        {
            id: 'MainList',
            xtype: 'list',
            itemTpl: '{name}',
            store:
            {
                fields: ['name', 'position'],
                data: [
                        { name: 'Bob', position: 'Goalie' },
                        { name: 'Tom', position: 'Left Wing' },
                        { name: 'Ralph', position: 'Defense' }
                    ]
            },
            items:
            [
                {
                    docked: 'top',
                    xtype: 'toolbar',
                    items:
                    [
                        {
                            xtype: 'button',
                            text: 'Update Template',
                            ui: 'accept',
                            handler: function ()
                            {
                                this.up('list').setItemTpl('{position}');
                                this.up('list').refresh();
                            }
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        });

Hi,

I am having the same exact problem and I have to go live by the end of Jen.

Is there a temporary solution?

When ST2.1.1 is going to be released otherwise?

Alexfluger posted a fix on http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...t-(v2.1)/page2
but I haven't tried it personally.

I haven't heard any updates on the 2.1.1 release date. It would be nice to get some news about it.

If the template isn't dynamic, put all your templates in a single template toggled on and off by a class.

itemTpl: new Ext.XTemplate("<div class='temp1'>...</div><div class='temp2'...")

etc.
