Hi

I have a page which shows a list of records from a model. I have an “add new” link which opens a form. User fill the form and clicks save. Then an ajax call is done and the new record is saved to the database.

When i visit back the page with the list i do not see the new record, although it is saved in the database. I have to stop the server and restart it in order to see the new records.


Why is this happening?


Please advise.

Thanks

Hi,

it's hard to tell without more information. It could be a caching issue, if you are using a cache. If possible, please show us the code of the view that is causing the error (if it's not too long).

Regards,

A.

You most likely have a variable as a rest of query that's defined at module level. Something like:

records = models.Record.objects.all()

def my_view(request):
    ...

You need to put your variables inside views if you want them fresh every view. Otherwise Django will fetch it when you start the server and won't do it again.

Hi,

This is the view

def taxes(request):

    taxes = Tax.objects.all()
    return render (request, ‘app/taxes.html',
                    {"data":taxes})

1) You hit Ctrl+R or otherwise refresh the page in the browser, and it still shows the old data?

2) How do you know the new record is in the database?

3) What is your RDBMS?

4) Are you using any cache middleware?
