ASP.Net 核心缓存

Question

I have a .js file that is being statically served in my application. This file will continue to change through the course of development-

I had made some changes to the file this morning as I normally do. Debugging the project, I discovered that the changes in the .js were not reflected- ie the browser was using an older version of the javascript file.

I have been working on this project for a few weeks and the changes in the .js file have always been reflected in the next debug until today. I have tried in both Chrome and Edge.

What gives? I'm puzzled about the change in behavior. I did receive a Windows update overnight, could it be there's a global setting for browser caching which was previously disabled on my system and was enabled by the update. I am aware of cache busting techniques but in the past, I've always just been able to update the a static .js file and the browser has always used the latest .js file.

Hopefully someone else might find this helpful. I was poking around Visual Studio and in the "play button" next to IIS Express, there is a menu option called "Script Debugging" that I happened upon and was set to disabled. I enabled the setting and things are back to working as previously.

I was able to confirm that by disabling the setting, Chrome and Edge use a cached version of the script file.

My guess is a Windows update disabled the setting. Can someone explain how changing this setting in Visual Studio affects caching in browsers?
