Randomly get a blank view when I upload a blade file to the server

@Snapey thank you, I do it already sometime but at this point its faster for me to re-upload my files.

What I dont get is why the cache of the view is updated when the filesize is at 0 (when I start the upload) but not later when the file is bigger, it doesnt make sens.

@laouch I think it looks at the timestamp of the file, so if the clock is different between your local machine and the fileserver it does not notice that the uploaded view file is newer than the cache.

Just confirmed; https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/9.x/src/Illuminate/View/Compilers/Compiler.php#L93

Looks at the timestamp of the cached file and the uploaded file. Nothing to do with the filesize

@Snapey thank you, I will try to add a filesize there to force it to wait the end of the upload. Thank again for your help.

@laouch No, never edit the vendor file. You should check for the time difference. You can get your new file to take by adjusting its timestamp to a time that makes it newer. Ideally make the server and your local dev have the same time

Or, clear the view cache at every upload.

@Snapey but whatever timestamp I use, that doesn't prevent the file to be cached before the end of the upload, I will still need to re-upload a few times. I dont have the issue on small websites because no one is visiting / "querying" the file while its still uploading.

Clearing the view cache seem to be the only solution.

@laouch Or adopt a better deployment strategy than 'hot patching' the server.

I use a simple bash script that creates a copy of the site and then flips the web server from one folder to another.
