Blade view not reflecting changes

Question

I am developing a Laravel(5.2.29) project in Windows environment and testing it on Chrome browser.

I have made some changes on a Blade file using atom text editor and then refreshed my page and noticed that suddenly it has stopped reflecting the changes (it's loading the old Blade file).

I've tried the following:

• Restarted the browser
• Clearing browser cache
• Running php artisan cache:clear
• Running composer dumpautoload
• Deleting the Blade file (and got a view not found error). Then created a new Blade file with the same name, with no content and refreshed the page.

No matter what, the code displayed on the browser is always the same (old) version and not the content of the Blade file.

How can I solve this issue?

Answer 1

In order to avoid the parsing of Blade files on each reload, Laravel caches the views after Blade is processed. I've experienced some situations where the source (view file) is updated but the cache file is not "reloaded". In these cases, all you need to do is to delete the cached views and reload the page.

The cached view files are stored in storage/framework/views.

Answer 2

Run this command from terminal

php artisan view:clear

Answer 3

If you use PHPStorm, uncheck Preserve files timestamps deployment option: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42534996/2453148

Answer 4

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:cache
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear
rm -rf bootstrap/cache/*/*

• Delete Cache/OPcache from PHP (fpm) of your Nginx/Apache server.

Answer 5

Clear the cache and clear the cached blade files:

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear

Answer 6

You can also check if opcache enabled, in that case you need to clear your opcache cache.

Answer 7

Alternatively if other suggested methods did not work, you can rename your files to different names. Refresh their corresponding web pages to start using new file name reference. Then you can rename the files back to your preferred names after the new pages to reflect their changes.

Answer 8

Like Can Gelis mentionned in a comment. For me the solution was to reload PHP FPM

service php7.2-fpm reload

Answer 9

I have cleared all cashs and uploaded folders but didnt see changes. Thus, if you have placed the project on a public hosting and don't have access to console then try to set deployment via your IDE (mine is phpstorm, e.g.)and set it to autoload mode. Then you'll get it working by changing something in the problem blade and by pressing cntrl+s(save) shortcut.

Answer 10

clear cache didn't work for me, but I just edited the file and saved it again, and it works!

Answer 11

None of these solutions have resolved this issue for me. Tried all php artisan options and the php code is not updating.

Only solution i've found is restarting the docker container that the code is running inside.
