Disable template caching for development in OpenCart 3

Question

I am making changes in my theme templates in OpenCart 3. Due to template caching I have to clear cache every time under \"storage/cache\" directory. It is very annoying when

Answer 1

Another way to do this: Open to system\library\template\Twig\Cache\Filesystem.php, find following lines of code

public function load($key)
{
    if (file_exists($key)) {
        @include_once $key;
    }
}

Comment out as in the following code:

public function load($key)
{
    // if (file_exists($key)) {
    //      @include_once $key;
    // }
}

This will remove the template cache of the twig and recreate every time, once development is over you have to remove the comment.

Answer 2

You can also do this from CODE directly if you have the access. Go to this file path below via ftp or cPanel:

system\library\template\Twig\Environment.php

Find

$this->debug = (bool) $options['debug'];

Replace:

$this->debug = (bool) true;
