Disabling the template caching is not working

[brsanthu]

Documentation says that we need to set handlebars.cache=false in the application.properties, which we have done but it is still being cached. Looked at the code, and it looks like it is hardcoded to setCache(true).

Can you please suggest ways to disable cache or make that configurable?

As you can see in the documentation, Handlebars loads .hbs files from classpath (handlebars.prefix: classpath:templates/) by default. When you edit .hbs files in src/main/resources/templates, Handlebars does not see these changes, because these files are not copied to build/... directory (classpath). There are 2 simple solutions (I assume you working with Intellij IDEA):

• make project after changes in template file (Build > Make project or Ctrl+F9)
• or change configuration for development to by adding handlebars.prefix: file:src/main/resources/templates/

Please look here for more information.

That was exactly the issue (dreaded Intellij no make on save issue). I setup a macro to save and make on Ctrl+S and is working fine.

With that said, what does this config do? handlebars.cache=false

I have this configuration working in Netbeans

handlebars.suffix=.html
handlebars.cache=false
