tracked property using "args" not updating

[locks]

@habdelra I believe @tracked does not support paths, can you try @tracked('args')?

[habdelra]

That's actually already in the Component base class: https://github.com/glimmerjs/glimmer-component/blob/master/src/component.ts#L165

@habdelra Remember that these are different:

// "The `args` property changes"
@tracked args;

and

// "The `someOtherThing` property changes, and may change when `args` changes"
@tracked('args')
get someOtherThing() {
  let { whatevs } = this.args;
}

@habdelra this change seems to work in your repo:

import Component, { tracked } from "@glimmer/component";

export default class ChildComponent extends Component {

-  @tracked ("args.model.foo")
+  @tracked("args")
  get foo() {
    return this.args["model"].foo;
  }

}

This makes foo dependent upon args, which will change whenever any argument changes. Dependencies are only tracked shallowly.

Thanks Dan!
