Chrome is loading cached (incorrect) files

[da...@thielen.com]

I am trying to debug some javascript. I just spent 3 hours thinking there was something wrong with my code and then discovered no, it's chrome.

Here's the source:

And here's the file in IE:

And finally here it is in chrome:

Notice how in chrome it is different code? That's my code from several hours ago. I rebooted my system. I had chrome flush all cached images & files. And still it is using an old file.

Is there any way to avoid this or should I use IE for all javascript debugging?

Hm, Chrome takes the file:// version, Internet Explorer takes the http://localhost version...

Not the same file or URL.

(And I do not understand where the third screenshot fits in all of this)

No, both are using the same url. The first screenshot is my IDE - WebStorm. So that's the file on disk as seen in the IDE. The second is IE and the third screenshot is chrome.

Both IE and chrome are using the exact same url. And that url is serving up via IIS Express the file shown in the IDE.

thanks - dave

But the third screenshot shows "worker-api.js" and not "test-layout.js"... am I missing something?

Sorry, I had a screenshot of the wrong file for one. Here it is as it's happening this morning. The file is worker-api.js (from worker-api.ts).

The source file (in WebStorm):

The source file in IE (correct - matches WebStorm):

The source file in Chrome (incorrect - is code from several days ago):

Why is Chrome using file contents that no longer exist? And yes I cleared cached images & data. And then rebooted. And still have this problem.

That looks weird. Have you tried inspecting the network using Fiddler2 (to see if the browser is actually requesting the scripts again)?

chrome:net-internals might give you a clue, though it is a bit verbose.

Also, have you enabled the "Disable cache" setting of the Developer Tools (cog wheel button>check "Disable cache (while DevTools is open)"?

The "Disable cache" setting appears to be the issue. I was unaware of that. Thank you!!

[Steve Capell]

I ran into this bug recently and it's a real pain. I wanted to point out that this is a real bug, even though disabling the cache does work around the problem. When viewing the source of a Javascript file (not sure about other types), Chrome shows an old version that is not the one being used when it's fetched from another page (eg, the html page). This should never be the case, whether the file comes from a cache or not. And the fact that clearing the cache does not solve the problem is bizarre. Where is that old file being kept to be shown for "view source"?

[PhistucK]

If you feel this is a real issue, you can search crbug.com for an existing issue and star it. If you cannot find one, file a new issue using the "New issue" link on the same page.

Please, do not add a "+1" or "Me too" or "Confirmed" (or similar) comment. It just wastes the time of Chrome engineers and sends unnecessary e-mails to all of the people who starred the issue.

You can reply with a link to the found or created issue and might get triaged (and fixed) faster.

Thank you.

You should file a new issue, as this issue is closed and archived already. Sorry.
