Stencil: Stencil builder cache seems to ignore changes to global scripts

[dimi-nk]

Stencil version:

 @stencil/[email protected]

I'm submitting a:

[x] bug report
[ ] feature request
[ ] support request => Please do not submit support requests here, use one of these channels: https://forum.ionicframework.com/ or https://stencil-worldwide.slack.com

Current behavior:

Changes in the global scripts are not picked up by the stencil compiler when serving locally (not sure about prod build).

Expected behavior:

Any change to the global script is immediately picked up

Steps to reproduce:

As per stenciljs guide, I've created 2 files src/global/index.ts & src/global/highcharts.ts. Then I've added the following property to my stencil config globalScript: 'src/global/index.ts'. The first time it worked fine.

Then I did changes to the highcharts.ts file, but nothing happened. I looked into the generated files under www/build/xxx/xxx.global.js and the code seems to be the one from before. Changes to highcharts.ts are not picked up.

If I disable the cache in stencil.config.js it works as expected, but cannot even re-enable it (still keeps using the old contents).

Related code:

// index.ts
import highcharts from './highcharts';

declare var Context: any;

Context.highcharts = highcharts;

// highcharts.ts
import Highcharts from 'highcharts';

const highcharts = Highcharts;

export default (function () {
    return highcharts;
})();

// stencil.config.js
exports.config = {
    ...
    globalScript : 'src/global/index.ts'
};

Might be related to #575 but cannot be sure

For the record I am running into the exact same issue but I can't figure out how to even get stencil to recognize the new code. I've re-cloned my directories, cleared NPM's cache, deleted the www dir and re-built with every possible setting.

Does anyone know a way to get around this until it's fixed?

@NorthMcCormick , did you try adding enableCache: false to the stencil config?

[NorthMcCormick]

@paulmaclean I had just come across that late last night hahaha. That does work.

For the record when re-enabled still uses the old cache. (I think this behavior is described in another related ticket, too (LOL apparently it is this ticket, it's been a week. Thank y'all))

From this ticket 😂

Do we have any updates for this? We've been missing build caching for some time now..

Just upgraded to 0.9.7 and the issue looks resolved.

I can confirm that this seems to be resolved in 0.9.11. Works as expected even with caching enabled.
