  • Tag changed from “bugmash, cache, caching, file, render” to “bugmash, cache, caching, file, not, render”

  not reproducible

  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.

  Diego, was it a file with a .css extension?

  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
  end
  

  I 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?
