如何在Django视图中禁用缓存？

Question

Whenever I modify the django view or static files, it may still not update when I reload the page.

For example,

def index(request):
    print 'first'
    return httpResponse('ok')

The django server log returns 'first'

But After modification

def index(request):
    print 'second'
    return httpResponse('ok')

The django may still returns 'first', not 'second'.

I have found some way to disable cache

for example,

from django.views.decorators.cache import never_cache

@never_cache
def index(request):
    print 'second'
    return httpResponse('ok')

But it will not work.

How can I avoid this problem when in development mode?

Thank you!

Answer 1

This is nothing to do with caching. Your devserver has not detected the change for some reason, so has not restarted; just do ctrl-c and re-run it manually.

Answer 2

In Chrome , go to your browser settings, and you can Disable cache . It is the first options under settings > general

Answer 3

Hm, Django dev server detects changes in .py files that it loads when starting. Could you try to add

from your_app import index

for instance in your urls.py, just to be sure module is loaded.

Then modify index code.

Your devserver should restart.

If it restarts, your modifications will be taken into account and your print should be ok
