There are two ways to run a component:
Development mode - runs the component with the latest code in the Translator, whether your changes have been commit or not. This is useful while you are developing your component.
On a specific commit - runs the component with the code saved in a particular commit. This is useful when:
You have commit and pushed changes to your repository and want the component to run on the new code.
You have made changes to a component in a testing Iguana environment and want to update the production deployed component.
You need to revert your component to run on a previous commit.
Selecting how to run your component:
Open your component card and stop the component if it is running.
Choose a specific commit you want to run or DEVELOPMENT mode.
Click the green arrow to confirm.
If you need to view the state of a specific commit, you can select the commit and click view commit to open a read only mode of the Translator.
When the Translator opens in read only mode, you may also notice that the root project file is now run. This is due to the way IguanaX stores your components to run in the two modes: development mode or on a specified commit.
This uses Git Cache to pull down the latest commits and refresh your “Using Commit“ dropdown. Click and wait for it to stop spinning to see the latest commits.
