Update of Web Folder Required

[Richard I]

On running  the exe after compiling the message appears
"Update of WebFolder required Try pressing F5 etc Server is on different version"

On pushing Control F5 the message is cleared,
Why does this keep happening please?
I ship the complied web Folder with the executable.

this will I believe overwrite the web Folder , but should  the old one be deleted first?
I am not shipping the clw or the obj

thanks

Hi Richard,

Your browser is caching the .js files (which is good for performance). Pressing F5 or Ctrl-F5 clears the cache and so allows the page to get the updated JS files.

There's also a setting on the Performace tab where you can "auto check the cache" - but this is a lot less performant than simply using the ones in the cache. 

Perhaps though instead of displaying the message it could just go ahead and fetch the updated files. That's something I'll play with in the next build. [Although that may be very bad if indeed you have not actually deployed the updated JS files... so some thought might be in order there..]

cheers
Bruce
