Grrr. I'm trying to update a js file, and I have, but I can't get the browser to see the updated version. I actually renamed the file on disk, so it's missing in in source control, but Chrome, Firefox and Edge all still act like it's there, the old version before I modified it. I'm sure I'm on the right server and workspace, since I modified one of the cfm files too, in a very obvious way, and I see that change. Very frustrating. Any suggestions? This is CF 2021 and IE.

just put

whatever.js?x=#createuuid()#

Doh, disregard. Same file name, different path. Oopsies...

Ahh yea usually just need to step away if you cant figure out in 15min or less and give your mind a restart

Patrick with the clutch rubber ducky move there 🙂

Yeha, we do

whatever.js?v=#formatdatetime(now(), "yymmdd")#

so then in prod it's updated to the clients which is better than #createuuid()# because otherwise the file is fetched every time from the client browser. During dev, we just do hard-refreshes

In prod we utilize build numbers; uuid was a ref for dev environments.

Got it. That makes sense.
