LuckPerms dev 376

If you make changes to a group.yml permissions and then re-upload the file, LuckPerms does not reload all permissions for players currently online to get a current / new snapshot of recently added or removed permissions. Players have to manually relog to get the new permissions.

# When using a file-based storage type, LuckPerms can monitor the data files for changes, and then
# schedule automatic updates when changes are detected.
#
# If you don't want this to happen, set this option to false.
watch-files: true

Using yaml storage method for all files.

Since there is no actual /lp reload command, I can't manually force a permission reload on everyone without having to do a forced server restart or kicking everyone.

Edit: Also of note, when adding permissions manually at the bottom of the file and re-uploading, it does not re-sort the permissions alphabetically in the file. Not sure if that is something done on first initialization.

Edit 2: Even relogging didn't clear all previously cached permissions for me. I had to do a full server restart to get clean and current chat formatting permissions since I uploaded new groups with negated group format permissions. I had chat formats for multiple groups despite the permissions being disabled.

Edit 3: Reloading the server did not re-sort permissions in the group file alphabetically / by wildcard first. Perhaps that may have broke too.

You can always reload the permissions with /lp sync.

Can you check your server console after uploading the file? It's possible that the filewatcher just didnt detect the change.

This is intended - sorting will only occur when LP writes it's own changes to the file.

Yeah, relogging wouldn't help if the group data had changed. As Brain said, /lp sync will update all data.

Again, this is intended, the file is only re-sorted when LP writes a change to the file. It only reads when the server starts.
