Cache refreshing ?

[pluxain]

Hi,

When I update a view I don't see the modifications reflected in the browser.

I configure the php directive opcache.revalidate_freq=0. The file timestamp is correctly modified on the machine.

The only way to see the modifications is to manually clear the cache folder in the project.

Anybody knows a workaround for this ?

I wrote this little test and it fails, even when the sleep step is active.

// tests/views/refresh.blade.php file containing "Initial content"

public function testRefresh()
{
    $initial_output = $this->blade->make('refresh')->render();
    $this->assertEquals(
        'Initial content', 
        trim($initial_output), 
        'The view output is equal to the file initial content'
    );

    $this->modifyView('Modified content', 'refresh');
    // sleep(1); // wait 1 second to make sure...
    $refreshed_output = $this->blade->make('refresh')->render();
    $this->modifyView($initial_content, 'refresh');
    $this->assertEquals(
        'Modified content', 
        trim($refreshed_output), 
        'The view output is equal to the file modified content'
    );
}

// ...

private function modifyView($content, $view_name)
{
    $view_path = "{$this->blade->viewPaths}/{$view_name}.blade.php";
    file_put_contents($view_path, $content);
}

This has nothing to do with your package, sorry. It has something to do with the virtual machine server configuration I use... If I use the PHP server everything works perfect !

In case someone has the same issue, as I said it had nothing to do with this package !

It was "just" a write access problem to the cache folder and the files created. I am currently using a vagrant virtual machine and I fixed the problem by changing the user and group executing apache server to vagrant in /etc/apache2/envvars file.
