# Objective
As discovered in
https://github.com/Leafwing-Studios/leafwing-input-manager/issues/538,
there appears to be some real weirdness going on in how event updates
are processed between Bevy 0.13 and Bevy 0.14.
To identify the cause and prevent regression, I've added tests to
validate the intended behavior.
My initial suspicion was that this would be fixed by
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/13762, but that doesn't seem to
be the case.
Instead, events appear to never be updated at all when using `bevy_app`
by itself. This is part of the problem resolved by
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11528, and introduced by
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10077.
After some investigation, it appears that `signal_event_update_system`
is never added using a bare-bones `App`, and so event updates are always
skipped.
This can be worked around by adding your own copy to a
later-in-the-frame schedule, but that's not a very good fix.
## Solution
Ensure that if we're not using a `FixedUpdate` schedule, events are
always updated every frame.
To do this, I've modified the logic of `event_update_condition` and
`event_update_system` to clearly and correctly differentiate between the
two cases: where we're waiting for a "you should update now" signal and
where we simply don't care.
To encode this, I've added the `ShouldUpdateEvents` enum, replacing a
simple `bool` in `EventRegistry`'s `needs_update` field.
Now, both tests pass as expected, without having to manually add a
system!
## Testing
I've written two parallel unit tests to cover the intended behavior:
1. Test that `iter_current_update_events` works as expected in
`bevy_ecs`.
2. Test that `iter_current_update_events` works as expected in
`bevy_app`
I've also added a test to verify that event updating works correctly in
the presence of a fixed main schedule, and a second test to verify that
fixed updating works at all to help future authors narrow down failures.
## Outstanding
- [x] figure out why the `bevy_app` version of this test fails but the
`bevy_ecs` version does not
- [x] figure out why `EventRegistry::run_updates` isn't working properly
- [x] figure out why `EventRegistry::run_updates` is never getting
called
- [x] figure out why `event_update_condition` is always returning false
- [x] figure out why `EventRegistry::needs_update` is always false
- [x] verify that the problem is a missing `signal_events_update_system`
