Hey everyone,
I've run into a problem that I can't fix. The quick version is: I have a number of custom tags in my application that contain a variety of code. (Html output, Database queries and CFswitch statements). Once a custom tag has run, it's cached and NEVER expires. I can make a change in the source code and save it with no change on the web page. I know that MX compiles the source code you write and stores it in memory to improve performance, I don' t know if this is part of the problem, but you can imagine in a development environment running a custom tag ONE time then not being able to change any of the code is UNACCEPTIABLE. Here's the longer version. After HOURS of fixing and tweaking and still not having the code work, I started to get suspicious that something else was going wrong. In this case that none of the code in my custom tags was being run. Here are some of the steps I went through to reach to this conclusion: - I changed the code inside the custom tags with no changes. The First version of the custom tag ran. - I deliberately introduced errors. Coldfusion didn't throw an error in response. The First version of the custom tag ran. - I opened the file and DELETED all the code, shut it and saved the file empty, The First version of the custom tag ran. - The first time the custom tag ran it took 260 ms ever other time it took 1-0 ms - I DELETED THE ENTIRE FILE, The First version of the custom tag ran. - .. Here are some of the steps I tried to fix the problem: - Restarted server Coldfusion server, Rebooted the computer. The First version of the custom tag ran. - Configured the server to run in a multi-host environment following the steps outlined in Ben Fortas' "Advanced Macromedia Coldfusion MX Application Development" Book. First version still. - Tried any number of "CFcache" set to time out now. Nothing - Attempted to use <cf_pcodeCacheFlushAll> by Tom Link. It doesn't seem to work with MX (and yes I noted the irony of using a quick tag in this case. . AND when I tried to make a change to this tag I ran into the same issue.hehe) - I set cache to 0 in the CF administrator. Nope - Trusted cache has Never been on. - I've searched on macromedias website and the forums are full of Cache issues similar to this one. But there haven't been any solutions.. Is this a bug?!? The only thing that has worked is renaming the custom tag and then calling the newly named custom tag. (You can imagine that this is not an answer- especially during a development cycle.) I've ran into this problem on 2 separate machines, My development station-laptop, and the clients sever. Specs are: Laptop: Windows XP, Coldfusion MX, IIS 5.0, Microsoft SQL server 2000 Clients Server: Windows 2000, Coldfusion MX, IIS 5.0, Microsoft SQL server 2000 The bottom line Question is how do I get rid of the cached custom tags? Coldfusion is serving out old, broken outdated files and even after restart, reboots and all of the steps above (plus More) I can't ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
