Hi Lars,

I'm not sure what you mean, but in my custom data forms for events (which I modify and test through a browser, no database hacking involved), I had this issue of caching. Is this what you meant that shouldn't be happening?

Regards,

Robin

Actually in production, when you do a change to a data set or sections, the form should automatically be re-downloaded to the browser. So the end user should be unaware of this.

During development when you hack away in the db etc it's useful to clear everything from the browser.

This works great. Thanks, Lars!

If it's not yet in there, might be useful to add it to the implementation or user manuals.

Hi Robin,

with caching, are you referring to data entry forms?

If so, those are stored in indexdb / localstorage to support offline capture, which is not cleared by default when clearing cache in most browsers. For development this chrome extension can be recommended:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clear-cache/cppjkneekbjaeellbfkmgnhonkkjfpdn

Go to options and select everything from beginning of time.

Lars

Hi all,

I'm currently testing some final adjustments, however there's somewhere a caching preventing me from seeing the last updates right away in my browser. I tried deleting both browser caching and DHIS2 caching (via Maintenance module) and that for Google Chrome, Mozilla, and IE. Generally, this is what I noticed (especially with respect to modifications in data entry templates):


1.       Google Chrome (incognito mode): a few hours of delay before updates are visible in the browser.

2.       Mozilla: I don't manage to see any updates at all. The browser is still working on the form of 2 weeks ago.

3.       IE: Idem as Mozilla.

From where my question: which browser & caching methods do you use for development?

Regards,

Robin
