There are many developer toolkits around that can cause a browser page refresh when changes are saved to any of its *.html, *.js or *.css files.
Does Frappe/ERPNext have a way to do that?
Isnt’ that the reload button? (in the menu top right).
It does clear the cache.
But I am not sure it refresh the JS. Often , I have noticed it is better that I do a
bench --site all migrate
for the changes to be effectively seen.
I am a bit fanatic about shortening the time it takes for:
- noticing a required change,
- getting to the right place in the code,
- editing the code,
- saving the changes,
- seeing the change is correct or not
Each of the those steps requires some combination of searching, clicking, typing, etc. which all takes time.
In a really good development environment you have a window open on every vital part. When a change is saved you should be able to see all the relevant changes happen within a couple of seconds, without any further typing or clicks. (Like a REPL (read eval print loop) but for a whole project.
I’m going to tinker with Cypress and see if that gets me what I want.
