Blade view not reflecting changes
I am developing a Laravel(5.2.29) project in Windows environment and testing it on Chrome browser.
I have made some changes on a Blade file using atom text editor and then refreshed my page and noticed that suddenly it has stopped reflecting the changes (it's loading the old Blade file).
I've tried the following:
- Restarted the browser
- Clearing browser cache
- Running
php artisan cache:clear - Running
composer dumpautoload - Deleting the Blade file (and got a view not found error). Then created a new Blade file with the same name, with no content and refreshed the page.
No matter what, the code displayed on the browser is always the same (old) version and not the content of the Blade file.
How can I solve this issue?
Solution 1:
In order to avoid the parsing of Blade files on each reload, Laravel caches the views after Blade is processed. I've experienced some situations where the source (view file) is updated but the cache file is not "reloaded". In these cases, all you need to do is to delete the cached views and reload the page.
The cached view files are stored in storage/framework/views.
Solution 2:
Run this command from terminal
php artisan view:clear
Solution 3:
If you use PHPStorm, uncheck Preserve files timestamps deployment option:

Solution 4:
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:cache
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear
rm -rf bootstrap/cache/*/*
- Delete Cache/OPcache from PHP (fpm) of your Nginx/Apache server.
Solution 5:
Clear the cache and clear the cached blade files:
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear
