This is an MVC 4 app using the Hot Towel SPA template. Whenever I change anything in the HTML and/or javascript the only way I can get the new code to display is to clear the browser cache. F5, cntrl-F5, shift-F5, nothing works.
I'm not normally a web dev and just learning this. I've done regular MVC before and not had this issue, maybe it has to do with where the HTML and javascript is in my project (i.e. in the /App folder) ?. I'm going nuts trying to figure this out.
I can completely delete an HTML file and run the app and it still runs as it did. Clear cache and run and I then get the update.
It's running using IIS express using Firefox, Chrome, IE...
Thanks..
In Opera and Chrome (and possibly others), you can disable caching while in 'development mode'.
While in DevTools, the 2nd option in the Settings menu is
Disable cache (while DevTools is open)
Go to your web.config file and make a change in it.Its not matter what change you make.For example type a character and then delete it and build the project and run it again.I hope it works.
I also experienced this issue and turns out it was related to caching.
If using Chrome DevTools, you can simply disable cache by navigating to the Network Tab and ticking Disable Cache
This will only disable the cache when Dev Tools is open.
ctrl+shift+F5 will do the trick! Seems like browser cache is part of the problem :)
in my case iis express not updated site, but site , created by iis Manager worked correctly?
possible solution for this problem is set "use this 64 bit version of iis express for web sites and projects" option at visual studio it located at options->Projects and Solutions->Web projects
The browsers cache by default. You can turn off caching in your browser to get the changed files.
I found that I had the .js file open in the Chrome Developer Tools -> Sources View.
When I closed the file there and refreshed the page the new .js file showed up as expected.
If you just want to test locally You can try
A) Create Virtual Directory
Follow below path: Project / Properties / Web
Find Servers section
Click on Create Virtual directory
B) Follow below path: Project / Properties / Web
Find Servers section
Click on Drop down and change the selected value between Express and Local
Then Create Virtual directory
I had an issue with moved .ts & .html files on the server and had to:
- stop debugging
- clear the whole output/dist folder inside my ClientApp
- start debugging again
- Ctrl-F5 to force the cache to refresh on the browser
Simply disabling the browser's cache, or forcing the .net app to recompile, or even running ng serve had no effect.
In case disabling the cache and editing the web.config file does not work.
Simply close the solution and reopen it and try it. Strange, but it worked for me.
