How to refresh explorer?

[sherif2011]

Hello @samarpan-b ,

I am having troubles refreshing API explorer after making some changes to controllers. Some times I totally drop a controller, save and run, and still see end points there in API explorer. How can I refresh explorer?

I tried npm run clean then npm run build but that didn't help. Actually if I do that I lose all files in dist folder except for readme files and get the following error: Error: Cannot find module './dist' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:636:15) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:562:25) at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:690:17) at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:25:18) at Object. (C:\Users\smankarious\Desktop\admin\index.js:1:21) at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:776:30) at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:787:10) at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:653:32) at tryModuleLoad (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:593:12) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:585:3)

Any clue please?

For your reference, if needed here is my package.json file.

@sherif2011 Unfortunately, it's an issue with latest loopback/build version. We have raised a similar issue on loopback repo for the same. See this - https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/issues/3358. We need to wait for the solution to that or revert to older version down from major version 2.

@samarpan-b Any work around just to build, should I revert to older version, build then upgrade to newer version?

[samarpanB]

Revert to @loopback/build version 1 for now. Don’t upgrade

Should I just follow along by install the above packages manually?

[sherif2011]

Ok, I downgraded to 1.0.0, and installed missing packages, saved all and npm start.... controller is showing old stuff still:

And here is my controller which should have only one end-point: import {post, param, requestBody} from '@loopback/rest'; import {UserRepository} from '../../repositories'; import {User, UserCredentials} from '../../models'; import {repository} from '@loopback/repository';

export class UserCredentialsController { constructor( @repository(UserRepository) protected userRepository: UserRepository, ) {}

@post('/users/{id}/credentials') async createAccount( @param.path.number('id') userId: typeof User.prototype.id, @requestBody() credentials: UserCredentials, ): Promise { return await this.userRepository.credentials(userId).create(credentials); } }

Please help!!

It seems to be a bit random. Now it updated the explorer.
