Ruby on Rails: Clear a cached page

rake tmp:cache:clear might be what you're looking for.

I was able to resolve this problem by cleaning my assets cache:

$ rake assets:clean

This line in development.rb ensures that caching is not happening.

config.action_controller.perform_caching             = false

You can clear the Rails cache with

Rails.cache.clear

That said - I am not convinced this is a caching issue. Are you making changes to the page and not seeing them reflected? You aren't perhaps looking at the live version of that page? I have done that once (blush).

Update:

You can call that command from in the console. Are you sure you are running the application in development?

The only alternative is that the page that you are trying to render isn't the page that is being rendered.

If you watch the server output you should be able to see the render command when the page is rendered similar to this:

Rendered shared_partials/_latest_featured_video (31.9ms)
Rendered shared_partials/_s_invite_friends (2.9ms)
Rendered layouts/_sidebar (2002.1ms)
Rendered layouts/_footer (2.8ms)
Rendered layouts/_busy_indicator (0.6ms)
