Setting attributes which should trigger a confirmUpdate in a confirmUpdate call - discrepancy between the view and model

[frnora]

Introduction

Hi,

Please help me out with this.

The idea is to show some tools after selecting a link.
One of the tools modifies the model to show an additional svg path (which should be rendered into the view, so this change to the model just sets the correct path and the ratio at which the path should be shown). This change to the model triggers a confirmUpdate (when called on its own) and works fine. But as soon as it is called from a previous confirmUpdate call - the tools update in this case, it doesn't work. And considering it is the tool('s render) that triggers this attributes change...

Something like this:

select()
--> showTools()
   --> confirmUpdate() with the TOOLS flag
      --> updateTools()
         --> update()
            --> onRender (of the tool that should show the path)
                - updates the link model's attribute - this should trigger a new confirmUpdate() with a different flag and it normally does when called on its own with `attr`. But I assume because we are inside of the confirmUpdate here, it does nothing.

So the end result is that after calling select() the additional svg path is not rendered. Checking the model, the d property is correct but it is not reflected in the view where it is still the initial 0 0 0 0 or whatever the previous value was. The confirmUpdate is never called with the custom 'path-update' flag in this case.

Subsequently hovering the target or the source of the link triggers an "updateAll" on the link and it rerenders and shows correctly.

How can I solve this issue? I tried to require the view but it makes no difference.
Thank you!
