820770 - Old CZ plugin script versions are cached across app restarts

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Other Applications :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[cuteangel24]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0
Build ID: 20121128204232

Steps to reproduce:

I made a change to one of my CZ scripts in <profile>/chatzilla/scripts/foo/init.js.

Then I restarted chatzilla.
Then I restarted firefox.


Actual results:

The change was ignored. Chatzilla kept using the old script version that didn't even exist on disk anymore.


Expected results:

Chatzilla should have loaded the updated script, especially after I restarted firefox.

As I understand it, this is a Toolkit but, not one in Firefox or cZ.  I remember being subscribed to the issue there, but I can't find the correct bug.  If I had, I would have marked this as a duplicate.

Yes, this is a toolkit issue, but I made an opt-in "ignore the cache" thing, and we should change CZ to use it.

Is that why I'm having difficulties developing my plugin.
Will wait for a fix. Thanks for all the hard work.

Attachment: should ignore startup cache for /load,

This should be enough, but I've not tested this.

Someone confirmed on IRC that it works for them. :-)
