File Change Detection

[chrisdedman]

Description

Currently, if a user is opening a new file but did not save the current file they are editing, the changes from the current open file will be lost. We need to create a function that will check if the current file has been updated when opening a new one. Maybe extract from the newFile() function the part that checks if changes have been detected when creating a new file:

CodeAstra/src/FileManager.cpp

Line 63 in 73287c1

else if (isFileSaved)

Motivation

This will prevent users from losing edited content when opening a new file.

Tasks

• Refactor void FileManager::newFile() to extract file change detection
• Add the extracted file change detection maybe to void FileManager::loadFileInEditor(const QString &filePath) or anywhere that it should be.
• Ensure it works by testing, and possibly creating Unit Tests.
