Is there anyway to make Rails NOT cache?

Is there anyway to make Rails NOT cache? I’m getting caching in the
browser and the server.

I have to restart Lighttpd after every view change to see the results.

Thanks,

Are you doing development at this point? If so, you really don’t want to
be using lighttpd - good old webrick will do the trick.

If script\server is running lighttpd and causing trouble, do
“script\server webrick” instead.

I’m developing using Lighttpd and it’s great - no caching problem at
all.
Can’t say I ever noticed one?

Surely it can’t be the default behaviour, otherwise why would support
for it
have been added if it was unusable because of caching issues? Sounds
like
the culprit might be something else (eg. wrong configuration settings)
to me.

Though webrick does indeed do the job perfectly OK for development
purposes.

Oh yeah - make sure you’re not in production mode. That would certainly
cause problems.

There’s stuff abt this in the Agile book, and IIRC it’s pretty
flexible/powerful, but I don’t recall the specifics off the top of my
head (sorry). Google it with site:api.rubyonrails.com in the search,
tho, because it’s definitely in there.

If your Samba server is misconfigured and not updating timestamps on
files, then fix the configuration of your Samba server.

Or better yet, don’t develop by editing files on a remote fileshare. :wink:

I believe I’m in development mode. At least the lighttpd.conf file has
the RAILS_ENV set to development.

The cache of the views I know was mentioned in the docs. I remember
something about the mod time is compared to render time to determine
whether it should be compiled. However, I believe that when I edit
files via Samba on my Mac the mod time is n’t updated correctly and
thus never gets recompiled until I restart.

The other caching problem is the cache in my browser. In PHP I use to
set the headers for no-pragma cache. How do you do this in Rails? My
browser is definitely caching.
