I'm working on a backbone application on Google Chrome (v19.0.1084.56) and when I am working on templates, both me (on Mac OSX Lion) and another developer (on Fedora) have to close the tab and reopen the file to see new changes. Forced refresh (cmd+R or f5) do not work.
I am using these flags for chrome to work on the file:
open /Applications/Google Chrome.app --args --allow-file-access-from-files --disable-web-security
I'm driving myself crazy with this close/open process. Has anyone run into this problem and have you found a way to refresh the file?
UPDATE: Another developer in the shop does NOT have the problem described above and is on chrome 18 instead of 19 on Fedora. Its beginning to look like a Chrome bug.
FURTHER UPDATE: Also tried using --disk-cache-size=1 --media-cache-size=1
as flags when opening Chrome and the issue still persists. Using Incognito Mode doesn't work either. However, if I manually go to Tools > Clear Browsing History
and check both Clear Browsing History
and Empty the Cache
, and hit refresh, the template will load correctly. This narrows it down to a cache problem.
After googling and researching, there is a way to disable cache on a page. By opening the Developer Console, in the bottom right-hand column there is a cog. In that menu there is a checkbox Disable Cache
that once enabled, fixes the problem.
