The JavaScript file in Intellij IDEA 12.1.7 is not reflecting changes when the application is executed

In my Spring application, I came across a situation where the JavaScript file implementing a date picker was not updating even after fixing a syntax error in the function declaration. This resulted in running an outdated version of the file with the error.

Here is the code snippet with the error:

$(function())){
       $("#createdTime, #expi").datepicker({
             dateFormat:  "d-m-yy"
       });
}

After correction, the code looks like this:

$(function(){
       $("#createdTime, #expiryTime").datepicker({
             dateFormat:  "dd-mm-yy"
       });
});

The id "expiryTime" is now correctly aligned with my HTML structure.

I suspect that this issue may be related to my IDE (Intellij IDEA 12.1.7). Despite trying to clear the cache, the problem persists. Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

Answer №1

I recently experienced a similar issue with the Chrome browser. To resolve it, I recommend navigating to Developer Tools (F12), then selecting Network and disabling the cache.

Answer №2

To fix this issue, I resolved it by refreshing the page and pressing Control + F5 simultaneously.

Answer №3

If you encounter a similar issue: consider trying user1849060's solution, which may be helpful. Additionally, I discovered that in Chrome, refreshing the page (F5) was necessary to clear out cached Javascript and allow the new code to take effect.

I've faced this problem in the past with Chrome and IntelliJ holding onto outdated Javascript files, prompting me to share my experience for others facing similar challenges.

Answer №4

Below are a few tips I've discovered to help with troubleshooting when dealing with issues in JavaScript and IntelliJ.

  1. Try Ctrl+f5 (empty cache and refresh)
  2. Inspect the code, navigate to the specific JavaScript file, open it in a new tab, make a small edit like changing a letter's case, and then refresh the page
  3. If all else fails, try using Grade: go to Tasks > Build > Clean

If Gradle is causing problems, check the Build > Resources folder where it will build your project. Sometimes deleting this folder is necessary if IntelliJ is not reloading a static JS file properly.
