Views not reflecting code, html or css changes - cheesecakenl - 08-16-2022
Whenever I change my view code, html or css it takes really long (~60 sec.) to reflect in my local browser. However if I have for example a list view and add a database item it show right away. It feels like a caching problem but I have tried several things already after googling this issue.
Specs:
- Windows 11 Home 21H2
- CI 4.2.4
- Bitnami WAMP 8.1.9
- Running in development mode
- Deleting cache from browsers (Chrome/Edge)
- The welcome_message view shows the same slow change behaviour
- In BaseController and MyController
Code:
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"); // HTTP 1.1.
header("Pragma: no-cache"); // HTTP 1.0.
header("Expires: 0"); // Proxies.
$this->response->noCache();
$this->cachePage(3);- In Config/Cache.php
Code:
public $ttl = 3;- Tried changing files in other editors (maybe Jetbrains IDE was updating slow)
- Checked CI dev bar. Page loads quickly.
- Running in Production mode. Still slow.

to prevent cache problem, maybe give the css file a different name each time you change it eg mystyle_01.css and increment the _01 accordingly. Then either manually update it in your html view or run a small function in the controller to pick the css file with the highest number and pass this to the view.
