You need to change the aspnetcore enviroment variable from production to development. From the official website:

... set an environment variable to tell ASP.NET to run in development mode:

• If you’re using PowerShell in Windows, execute $Env:ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT = "Development"
• If you’re using cmd.exe in Windows, execute setx ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT "Development", and then restart your command prompt to make the change take effect
• If you’re using Mac/Linux, execute export ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development

If you are in linux, you might have to do it as a superuser. i.e.

sudo export ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development

The value of the variable may revert back to Production after re-booting. If you want to work with several environments, I suggest you define them in the launchSettings.json file:

{
      "iisSettings": {
      "windowsAuthentication": false,
      "anonymousAuthentication": true,
      "iisExpress": {
         "applicationUrl": "http://localhost:40088/",
         "sslPort": 0
      }
   },
     "profiles": {
       "IIS Express": {
          "commandName": "IISExpress",
          "launchBrowser": true,
          "environmentVariables": {
              "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"
          }
       },
       "IIS Express (Staging)": {
          "commandName": "IISExpress",
          "launchBrowser": true,
          "environmentVariables": {
          "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Staging"
         }
       }
     }  
   }

I opened link in Incognito mode since in that mode cache is disabled and Voila it worked.

Answer 4

For me, none of the previous answers worked. I was using Chrome, and the only way I was able to view the update was by opening an incognito window. My regular browser window, for some reason, just will not get the latest assets.

I have tried clearing my cache, disabling cache on devtools, and hard refresh, to no avail. The only way I was able to fix it was by clearing the DNS cache. Here's a link with more details:

How to Clear the DNS Cache on Computers and Web Browsers

Using command line, here's how you go about doing it:

Windows 7 & Earlier

ipconfig /flushdns

Windows 8

ipconfig /flushdns

OSX (Yosemite, El Capitain, and Sierra)

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

Answer 5

You need to run command yarn webpack:build to recompile your client code. Otherwise modifications/updates in .HTML, .json, .ts files will not be reflected.
