Please HELP - I haven't slept for two nights

I am having issue I wasn't able to fix with google and its super strange one. It could easily be lack of knowledge on my side so have mercy.

I have made an application recently using Laravel Nova (Homestead), everything worked perfectly locally + online. When I say everything I mean everything (Laravel, Nova, Vue...)

Couple days ago, I cloned project to new PC (standard procedure). I thought everything works until I started editing NOVA-COMPONENTS. Once edited components are built with "npm run dev" I see no changes in browser... I believe I have tested everything related to browser (clear cache, new browser, system restart...). Tried clearing laravel cache also without effect.

Steps I did:

  • Cloned git repository + installation
  • npm install inside nova-component folder
  • npm run dev inside nova-component folder

I see that app.js file is being built again when i change some Card.vue and it contains my changes but browser is still using old javascript files.

Please let me know.. if you need bit more info just let me know.

If anyone se this - Windows OS is the issue. I haven't even tried to find solution and went back to Linux machine where I have 0 issues with this.

Have you tried to press F12, and then disable caching in the network tab to force it to fetch everything every time?

@Tray2

Hello, I have actually tried everything related to the browser when I was working with Windows machine.. Starting app in new private window + disabling cache was first thing I have tried to do without any success.. Unfortunately at the time when I wrote this post no-one was answering so I just dropped it and went back to Linux machine..

Please or to participate in this conversation.
