Chrome Developer Tools caches old version of JavaScript files

Question

I\'m experiencing a strange intermittent issue with Chrome Developer tools hanging on to old versions of JavaScript files. I\'ll be developing some JS app, things humming along

Answer 1

Chrome DevTools works fine for me. When I load it for a page it remembers beyond the lifespan of the chrome process what sources I have open; although it gets the order wrong. I see two differences in our devtools prefs: disable cache and enable maps. So I would advise:

1) uncheck disable cache (while DevTools is open), 2) (if 1 didn't work) press the "Restore defaults and reload" button.

Answer 2

As suggested here https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-chrome-developer-tools/2rolf--fJ3M/UTJQaZN3K28J, for development environment I added these headers when serving a sourcemap:

Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate
Pragma: no-cache
Expires: 0

and it seems to do the job (at least for now).

Answer 3

Google appears to have fixed this issue. It's stopped occurring for me.

Some code editors such as rubymine cache js files.
