Caching same code even though versions change #195

Open monicacecilia opened 9 years ago

monicacecilia commented 9 years ago

At genomearchitect.org/WebApolloDemo the "Dark" color scheme cannot be enabled. "Dark" theme works well on Staging.

Error shown on console: GET http://icebox.lbl.gov/WebApolloDemo/jbrowse/data/tracks.conf 404 (Not Found)dojo.js:357

@monicacecilia I was able to reproduce this when I was using the cached version of genomearchitect.

That being said, it is silly and dangerous that we force a user to blow out their cache when a version is updated. Grails assets does this automatically (and I think GWT). If dojo doesn't have this mechanism (which would surprise me), I think it wouldn't be too hard to have it use this mechanisms.

Here is some relevant discussion:

Here is Apache/google's modspeed, which solves some of the same problems.

@cmdcolin We don't have to fix this, but I was wondering what you thought. I think that we can agree that its a bit silly to force the user's to reload (though I'm sure they must be used it by now).

Have you tried this with an incognito browser? I’m sure you have, just wanted to double-check. I shouldn’t say that I cleared my cache, but I did use an incognito browser.

I've cleaned the cache a few times and I still am not able to see the "Dark" theme.

Well, refreshing with cache flush (Mac/Chrome/ Shift+command+R = cache is ignored & resources are requested like no cache existed) does not work. Only After cleaning all browsing data. meh.

nathandunn commented 9 years ago

Yeah. Its 2015. We probably need a better solution.

We have similar concerns with caching in JBrowse itself, so I'd be willing to help out testing of mod_pagespeed or whatever architecture change looks best.
