RussianI do have an instant solution for you, but it probably requires a tiny bit of re-thinking your actual code. This is by the way the same problem as here:
Meteor 0.8.0 - Failed to operate DOM in rendered callback
But the question is posed in such a different context that it makes sense to answer it twice.
So why does it not trigger the rendered callback? Because it does not re-render.
Blaze treats the whole thing of "how to react on a changed dependencies" very differently, "better" one might say: it will identify the DOM node where your "one", "two" or "three" (in your case it's the template itself) was stored in and just replace the part that has changed, which is the text content "one", "two" or "three". The DOM node itself as well as the template stay completely intact. That also means, that everything you could have been doing with this DOM node won't have to be re-done in almost every practical scenario. I.e. if you animate it, change it's text color using jQuery, the color and animation will just stay on the screen, so you won't need the rendered callback to re-do that.
In your case, the problem is easily solved by just rearanging what you want to do on "rerender":
var whatever = function(){
// whatever you want to do on data-change, in your case calling "logRender" (which needs to be renamed with Blaze, anyway..)
logRender();
}
And then the only thing you have to do is firing it whenever your data change, either manually, like this:
setInterval(function () {
Session.set('items', {name: Random.choice(["one", "two", "three"])});
// calling the function when changing the data, knowing that it WON'T destroy the DOM node it affects
whatever();
}, 1000);
or reactively, like this:
Deps.autorun(function(){
Session.get("items"); // our dependency, just has to be there, but you can also use it
whatever(); // will be fired whenever dependency changes
});
The core idea is to eliminate the need to re-do something you did in the rendered callback, since the DOM and the identity of its objects (and all the beautiful jQuery effects) are still intact. So all that is left to re-do is something that only would depend on the particular reactive data-change, which is why there is the Deps.autorun().
In your particular example, your "logRender" function did not have any reactive dependencies, but if you add some and put it into the Deps.autorun(), it will be reliably re-run whenever the dependency changes.
As a conclusion, Meteor 0.7.x and below drove us to make the mistake of treating the "rendered" callback function as a general purpose autorun function, which is why we are running into trouble now and have to fix our apps.
