Description 📖
Safari does not respect the combination of
ETag
andCache-Control: no-cache
headers without the use of a cache-busting query string. Thevite_stylesheet_tag
helper does not have this cache-busting query string but if you import the CSS directly into the JS, when it gets split out it works.Background 📜
Bug in Safari
The Fix 🔨
We are documenting the behavior to help folks who may get stumped by it. In the issue, another option was linked in the comments as a workaround but that option didn't appear in my version of Safari and I wasn't able to work out how to disable cache. The only other option I've found so far is to manually empty the cache between stylesheet changes which is not a great dev experience.
