[Bug]: Error message "Your local ARC is out of sync with a remote."

[Tim220802]

What happened?

ARCitect is constantly showing an error message:
Your local ARC is out of sync with a remote. You can pull or push changes in the DataHUB Sync view.

But I checked and my local and remote history is definitely synced.

What did you expect?

No response

Operating system (OS)

Windows

ARCitect version

ARCitect v1.6.0

@SabrinaZander mentioned yesterday she also sees this sometimes so I probably messed something up. Is either of you able to tell me what steps I'd need to take to reproduce this bug on a fresh ARC? Or can you point out specific situations when this happens?

@Thyra : I tried to reproduce it

1. Create new ARC in ARCitect, push
2. Add file in DataHUB e.g. README
3. Local ARC is out of sync but no message pops up, only in the DataHUB sync panel it is stated that ARC is out of sync.
4. After pulling, now the ARC is in sync, the red message pops up

Not sure if it is somehow delayed. But the message stays although the git history is synced.

Thank you, but unfortunately I can't reproduce it, neither with the published 1.6.0 nor the current version of the main branch 1.6.1 🤔. It makes sense that it doesn't immediately show you're out of sync because it only checks the remotes every 5 minutes but that it says you're out of sync after you pulled the changes is very weird.

For me the behavior is this:

1. done
2. done
3. -> no message right away but if I wait a few minutes, it pops up. I also see the out of sync in the sync panel if I navigate there before the 5 mins
4. pulled -> If the message was there before, it disappears, if it wasn't (because I pulled right away), it doesn't pop up at all

I really hope this is not somehow different on Windows than it is on macOS, then it will be annoying to fix 😆
