I tried with 2-3-stable branch and I was able to update my template file and see the changes in the browser without needing to restart the app.

It is reproducible.
I have te same problem. Running in development mode. And rendering a css file. When changing the file rails does not pick up on it.I have to say though that I am using it with an action (for very good reasons).
so for example I have this line of code in my application controller:
def css render :file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/clients/#{client_id}/index.css", :layout => false endI am by the way running v 2.3.8
And really don't know if this helps (first time) But I hope it does! -

I have this same problem - to get around it, I'm currently using the render :text => File.open as recommend above, but this method but this is much slower in terms of performance.
I have html files in /public which has content that is changed regularly. I would like to be able to have the file cached, yet, be able to update or invalidate the cache on a timed/regular basis so that the file reloads and is rendered via render :file..
Using file open along with my own cache of file contents may work well in the short run, but really - what is the answer here??

I have the same issue in 3.0.4..
could it be a proxy cache or something
or is it really Rails caching the render :file part?Also, when I open the rendered file in another browser tab
but then without rails, I see the latest content.how does this work / happen?
thanks! -

Same in 3.0.5. I do know that this behavior doesn't happen in development mode and only on production mode.... Is there a way for us to clear in the code whatever is being cached?
