CSS and JS files timing

I've been working on adding some features to my Seasons skin which involves some work in the CSS and JS files. When I run a new report, the index.html is built with all my changes, but the /var/www/html/weewx/seasons.css/js are not updated. This only seems to happen on the first report run after a restart?

Hi,

Correct, .css, .js and .ico are set to ‘copy once’ (have a look at the [CopyGenerator] stanza in Seasons skin.conf). This is by design as the files do not change from report to report. You have two options, either restart WeeWX after each change or manually copy them too your web server after each change. Be wary of editing the files on your web server directly as you risk losing your changes if there is a WeeWX restart.

... or put the CSS and JS files in "copy_always", instead of "copy_once".
