Re-compiling after changes to HTML

[Naveen Neel]

Probably a straightforward question.

I made changes to results.html to fix a bug. I then followed the instructions here https://dxr.readthedocs.org/en/latest/development.html#testing and ran
"make templates" in the root directory as well as "make" in tests/test_basic.
But, the changes do NOT show up the next time dxr-serve is launched.

I tried making an intentional syntax error in the html file and then re-running the above make functions but there were no errors.

Can someone let me know what I'm missing?

Thanks,
Naveen

That should work, as long as the copy of templates.js generated when you run "make templates" is the one dxr-serve is finding. However, if you ever accidentally ran "python setup.py install", you will have a second copy of DXR in your systemwide Python site-packages dir, immune to any changes you make: https://dxr.readthedocs.org/en/latest/development.html#troubleshooting. I suspect this is what's going on from the tests you've already run, but, to corroborate, put a syntax error in app.py and see if you can get dxr-serve to crash. If not, you definitely have a second copy of DXR hanging out somewhere. You can remove it with [sudo] pip uninstall dxr.

Cheers,
