Extension is not updated

Wed, 01 Jul 2015 12:03:09 GMT

Hello

After extension js-file modifying I can't see coincident change of visualization element in Sense application.

I have restarted Sense, deleted and recreated visualization element. No result.

But new extention, that created by coping and renaming above, shows all my changes.

How can I see result of extension modifining?

Does Sense have extensions reload command?

Hi,

we have seen this rarely before but only in older versions and when using Qlik Sense Desktop to test visualization extensions.

So therefore my questions:

- Which version of Qlik Sense are you using?

- Do you test your visualization extensions in Qlik Sense Desktop or using the browser?

Regards

Stefan

Hi,

first of all here's the solution or workaround:
https://github.com/stefanwalther/qliksense-extension-tutorial/blob/master/tutorial/part-09/1002-Troubleshooting-FAQ.md#changes-made-in-a-visualization-extension-are-not-reflected

Beside that I am really interesting in understanding how this is happening, because we already experienced this behavior but couldn't reproduce it.
What OS are you using, what exactly are you doing, could you please elaborate a bit, thx a lot!

Regards

Stefan

Stefan,

Your advice was useful. I see my extension edits in Google Chrome, so I will use it.

Windows 8.1. Professional is installed on my comp.

My extension is very simple (Hello world).

I'll do my best to help you. Can I get your email somehow?

My email was changed, but I can't edit it in my community profile.

You have to clear the google chrome cache by opening chrome and clicking ctrl+shift+canc.

Solution link is broken.

I found a solution that worked for me, from qlikview - Extension Doesn't Update - Stack Overflow. I had to view on Chrome and disable caching for this to work via Chrome > Developer Tools (ctrl+shift+i) > Network Tab > Check "Disable Cache".

In Qlik Sense Desktop, you also have to hope Chrome dev tools by pressing ctrl+shift+right click and disabling the cache there as well.

Doesnt work to only do it in the Chrome browser with devhub.
