Caching views

Hello, @grestock !

Cache is stored in the storage/ folder. If blade was working fine on your local machine but on server it is not caching properly, chances are you need to review the permissions on the storage folder.

Check that other question where I helped a guy with similar problems: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/laravel-you-dont-have-permission-to-access-on-this-server

Let me know if it helps.

bit puzzled what you mean by 'reflected on the server' . What is your deployment process?

Are you working in a different timezone to your server?

@DIEGOAURINO - Thanks, diegoaurino!

that's what I thought also, but the permission is ok. It is an Ubuntu Server/ Apache2. The Owner and group are set to www-data:www-data Permisssion is 775 recursiv (I tried 777 on storage and below, but didn't help)

@SNAPEY - Thanks, Snapey!

I use phpStorm on a local windows machine with automatic ftp upload on change the apache2-server. (both machines in my local network ;-))

But you set me on the right track: When I edit a blade-file with notepad and upload it with ftp, the view cache is updated.

When I edit a blade-file with phpStorm and phpStorm uploads the file, the view cache is not updated (but the change is copied to the server).

And finally I found the error in phpStorm settings: Deployment/Options/"Preserve files timestamps" was set.

Unset this and caching works like a charm ...

That would explain it. The view is only re-cached if the blade file is newer than the cached version. This is why I was thinking it might be timezone related.

Glad you got it sorted. Mark it answered please.
