Rails - Oct 2013 - in dev, how can I make assets/javascripts changes show up in browser (rails 3.2/chrome 21)

Sometimes -- like now -- my favorite dev browser, Chrome (v.21), will not 
show changes made in my Rails 3.2 assets/javascripts files. Is this a 
Chrome thing, or how can I get the changes to show up immediately upon page 
refresh?

Thanks,

G

Is this while you are developing on localhost? Do you have the assets pipeline
configured correctly in your development.rb environment file? It should be set
to auto-recompile on each request. If Chrome is showing you this issue, try
using Safari or Firefox and see if the problem travels -- it could be Rails, but
it could just be your browser. See if there''s a hidden Chrome option to
disable cacheing for certain domains or globally. I have Firefox set to use zero
disk and memory cache. Yes, it''s slower for everything, but I
don''t have to hold down the Shift key and press Reload to force-refresh
while making tiny changes to scripts either, and I don''t use Firefox
for daily Web driving anyway.

In Chrome, I turn off caching in the DevTools (it means you need to keep them
running, I think.) There''s probably an easier way to get to them, but
once I have the DevTools up, I click on the little sprocket in the lower right
corner and I can then configure the browser.

I don''t know if this will fix your issue, but at least you can be sure
it isn''t browser caching that''s the problem. Hope this helps….
