.js being cached, but not .css

JCKodel

I have a Flarum install with about 2.34 million users and I'm facing a problem:

Every page loaded has the same generated .js (for instance, if you load https://mcc-forum.code.art.br/d/1392-oleo-bomba-para-crescimento/193, it will generate and use forum-f46e9880.js. When I hit F5 or Ctrl+F5, the same js name is used.

But this is not true for css. Each time I load that page, a new CSS is generated (doesn't matter if is a simple reload or a Ctrl+F5).

The problem is that sometimes, that generated CSS results in a 404 and the page loads without any style.

I don't know how to investigate this (I cleared the cache, I deleted every .css from public/assets, I rebuilt the storage folder, nothing seems to fix it).

What can I check to investigate this issue? (BTW, Flarum 0.1.0-beta.13).

JCKodel the only reason I can think of is permission issues. But if the js can be written, so should the css... You can try installing https://extiverse.com/extension/bokt/flarum-cache-assets which caches these files through commandline (ahead of user interaction). See if it throws any errors when using the --css flag on the command php flarum cache:assets.

JCKodel looks like vendor/composer/installed.json contains invalid data; can you check whether that file exists?

luceos I forgot to activate the extension =P Doing that now...

Same thing... js is the same, css changes every page reload. No errors in the plugin:

JCKodel bioext-

This one causes the NOTICE. Is this yours?

JCKodel

It was the debug flag (that I turned on because of bugs in cache after changing the server). With debug false, it work as intended.

Thank you for your help.

JCKodel

luceos Yes. I had to create a plugin to make Flarum work with real user names (like Anakin Skywalker instead of anakin or anakin@sithrules.com).

luceos

JCKodel make sure the name in composer.json has the / delimiter, eg jckodel/bioext.
