Hi, I'm trying to push update that view whenever someone adds a status and I've got node.js and views node.js which adds an action to rules to dynamically update views however I can't seem to access it with any data selector. I was thinking maybe if I made an action to fetch the entity maybe it would become available but I guess statuses aren't any kind of normal entities. Do you think this is even possible?

I don't know. Looking at the code for that module I don't see any reason why it wouldn't always appear in the action list. I don't know what you mean when you say you "can't seem to access it with any data selector."

You know in rules how you have to have a data selector? Like after you add an action in this case "Select the action to add" would be Node.js views update, then it asks you for a data selector. None of the available data selectors listed have anything to do with that view is what I meant by "I can't access it (the view) with any data selector."

Oh. The Statuses Rules submodule provides a data type to Rules called "statuses" which should show up in that list. If it doesn't, you probably need to load the status first.
