IDE Workspace only fully deploys once, subsequent deployments are weird

Working with IDE to create a test app on my PDI on Yokohama,
I was able to create an app and the initial files with no issues.
I created:

  • Table A definition
  • AppMenu for the app
  • AppCategory Record for AppMenu
  • UI Module Record of List type for table A

I deployed and verified, all good.
I then decided to create

  • Table B
  • UI Module Record of List type for table B

Deployed and Synced successfully, according to IDE.

But the changes could not be observed on the instance, no System Files or records got created. even though on the ../generated/keys.ts file the new artifacts got assigned sys_ids.

This got me really confused, maybe it was some error on my code, so I tried many different things.
Like creating new files and moving code, removing code, changing ID names. Nothing worked.
I then decided to delete the workspace (but keep the app) and create a new one.
With no other changes done, I deployed and to my surprise It finally created the System Files.
The changes could finally be observed and tested.

Am I doing something wrong?
Is this a known issue?

I now realize what could be part of the problem.
I was using the version of the IDE that came installed with my PDI, a really outdated version (1.1.4).
As of the time of writing the most recent version is 2.1.1 and the issue I was having seems fixed.

This is a reminder for for everyone, including me, to always check for updates on these tools on the Application Manager.
