Generated resources (SASS, less, ...) are not updated in debug mode

[ghost]

When running the vaadin compiler the sass files are not being updated while in debug mode on the fly in 3.9

this works fine in 3.8

Hi,

Jawr use a cache new cache feature in the 3.9 version.
You could disable it by using the following property in your jawr properties file :
jawr.use.generator.cache=false

Can you give me more detail about your development configuration?
Which IDE are you using, which application server?
Are the file updated in your web application folder or in a jar file?

Cheers,

[ghost]

it looks like setting the cache setting did the trick :)

awesome thanks!

just for reference:
i'm using IntelliJ IDE
Tomcat 7 with JDK 1.7 and maven
and the files are being updated in web application folder.

Hi,

The cache setting was a work around.
It should have work without it.
I'll take a look to it.

ah okay

Hey,

although it was intended as workaround, caching shouldn't be active in debug mode. No matter if this property is set to true or false.

As we faced the same problem here with LESS CSS I need to update all projects setting the generator cache to false.

I don't see why caching shouldn't be active in debug mode. It's simply that the cache needs to be properly updated. I will be adding a pull request soon for some changes that made it work for me, but I don't know if it is correct. Basically, the ServletContextResourceReaderHandler.getFilePath method is returning null because it only has one resourceInfoProvider which is a BaseServletContextResourceReader. That BaseServletContextResourceReader does not implement ResourceGenerator and therefore skips over the block that would return the filePath.

Hi,

It should work in debug mode.
There was an issue, which I didn't get time to fix.
I think that the behaviour that you've presented should be the root cause of this issue.

Your pull request is welcome :-)

Cheers,

Okay, here is the pull request #53. The isDirectory method looks a little fishy as well.

[maximmold]

Totally separate concern, but while I have your attention I'll ask. Is there going to be a replacement for the java.net project pages which have been taken offline by Oracle?

[maximmold]

Anyway we can get this in soon or some similar version so I don't have to fork JAWR for my project's purposes?

Hi @maximmold

I'll try to release a version for the end of July with this fix.
Until then, you'll have to use your fork version on your project.

Cheers,

[maximmold]

Updating pull request to only include this one change: #57

Hi,

This issue has been fixed in the master branch.
Thanks to @maximmold for his analysis and the PR.

@maximmold :
Sorry but I've missed your message about the Jawr site.
Yes, the java.net site has been taken offline and the new official Jawr website is on github : https://j-a-w-r.github.io/
