Inner join, updates to left key

[andersstorhaug]

From InnerJoin.cs, current head of main (follow link for more context):

DynamicData/src/DynamicData/Cache/Internal/InnerJoin.cs

Line 106 in b38c0d0

joinedCache.Remove((leftKey, change.Key));

It appears that for an inner join, if a right value updates its left key, then InnerJoin will fail to remove it from the results if it no longer joins.

That's because on update of right values, results are removed only based on the current value of the left key, not the previous. To fix this, on update, It would seem that both current/previous left keys need to be taken into account.

I haven't had the time to look into this further / confirm, but I wanted to raise an issue here before I lose sight of it.

Thanks for pointing this out. I will take a look soon (on vacation right now).

If you have time and want to help @RolandPheasant out, if you get time might be worth just providing a unit test to help out.

[andersstorhaug]

Will do, I believe that both the reproduction and the fix are fairly simple, so I may be able to get a PR out here within a couple of days.

@andersstorhaug Is this still and issue?

I came here to add a feature request for this topic, and found this thread.

As of version 8.3.27 I think this is still happening. I encountered my own issue where an inner join had strange side effects when a key on the right side is modified at runtime.

Above is a link to a sample project I posted in Slack for review, it illustrates the issue. Unfortunately I am not comfortable in making unit tests, so I cannot help you there. :(
