[SalesForce] Is it possible to refresh tab in lightning service console

I have embeded lightning component on Case detail view page and I would like to tirgger refresh of case record page (opened in lightning service console). I tried using $A.get('e.force:refreshView').fire(), but it doesn't work. I also tried with workspaceAPI, but that also doesn't seem to do the trick (it won't open new tab with same record id and it doesn't have function to just do the refresh).

I would prefer to use $A.get('e.force:refreshView').fire() so I would appreciate any ideas why it doesn't work.

I think posting code seems not necessary in this case as I am just trying to trigger the refresh event ($A.get('e.force:refreshView').fire()) from just button click so nothing advanced involved and I am sure that code executes I just do not see the effect of this function like it would be blocked in some way.

This question is almost a year ago so the answer may be anachronistic, but there is now a refresh tab method. Documentation here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_console.meta/api_console/sforce_api_console_lightning_refreshTab.htm

[SalesForce] Lightning component for Community & Navigate to Record Detail page

The beauty of component framework is events .You can make two components talk to each other via events .All you need to do is handle the event when the case record is created in another component and use Navigation to redirect to needed page

Here is sample component you need to create for that

Create a component like below

<aura:component implements="forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes">
  <aura:handler event="force:navigateToSObject" action="{!c.navigate}"/>
</aura:component>

The handler controller logic for same is as below

({
 navigate: function(component, event, helper) {
  var sobjectId = event.getParam("recordId");
    console.log(sobjectId);
    if (sobjectId.indexOf("500") >-1) { //Note 500 is prefix for Case Record
        var urlEvent = $A.get("e.force:navigateToURL");
        urlEvent.setParams({
            "url": '/case/'+sobjectId,
            "isredirect" :false
        });
        urlEvent.fire();
    }
  }
})

Drag this component on the case creation screen using community builder .

[SalesForce] Lightning Components: How to refresh force:recordEdit after saving

As far as I was able to see, the only way of refreshing the component is to recreate dynamically with $A.createComponent()

I'm still looking for better alternatives.
