Clear theme cache

[Emma Richardson]

I have found some similar posts - I have added some css to my custom theme.  The custom theme is loading fine but it is not pulling the css unless I disable the caching on start up.  I would think that when I restarted and reenabled the cache, it would pull the new version but it pulls the old version.  I even did a full server reboot but still the old version is loaded.

How do I manually delete the cache to force it to pull the new css?

Hello,

this is a known problem of keycloak. See this article:

https://keycloak.discourse.group/t/old-theme-resources-are-loaded-even-after-restart-due-to-theme-caching/8413/6

What I personally do is, if I change the css files, I count up a version number in the file name.

File name before change: customization-v1.css

File name afterchange: customization-v2.css

So for keycloak this is a new file and it will deliver the new file, cause of the changed file name.

Hope this helps.

Tobias, thank you!!  That worked and was so simple.

For anyone else looking for this, remember to also update your theme.properties file to reference the renamed css file.

Is there any way to have the cache setting turned off? I've read something about a "dev mode", but I've not found out how to turn it on.

In the WildFly version of Keycloak, you could turn off the cache in standalone.xml.  I don't know off hand how to do it with the Quarkus version.

Pedro, do you know?

If you run start-dev it should be disabled by default.

Otherwise, the options are set here https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/blob/7398d7e1edd971db191607faf90fca8292f56efc/quarkus/runtime/src/main/resources/META-INF/keycloak.conf#L16.
