Outlook add-in on Outlook for Mac: clear cache?

3
votes

In Outlook for Mac, an office.js Outlook add-in runs in a task pane that I assume is a Safari web control. I have not been able to determine how you clear the cached files from an add-in running in the task pane.

Does anyone know how to manually clear the task pane's browser cache? I cannot find an official answer, just guesses.

Thanks.

It is an embedded WebKit instance. That said, what is the issue that you are running into? - Marc LaFleur
During testing we sometimes need to ensure that the new code is being loaded, but are getting the older cached files. - Carbo

Seems like the documentation contains the information you're looking for: Clear the Office cache

For Mac:

Delete the contents of the folder:

~/Library/Containers/com.Microsoft.OsfWebHost/Data/

I had a similar issue when building a custom function. My js was being cached and was not reloaded when pushed updated code to my webserver.

To remove the cache on my mac I deleted the contents of the following directory:

~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Excel/Data/Library/Caches/

Outlook has changed cache path, the new one is ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Outlook/Data/Library/Caches
