We're using Middleman Show archive.org snapshot for some static sites like our blog Show archive.org snapshot .
Despite being very similar to Rails, Middleman does not add a fingerprint hash to its asset paths by default. This means that when you write this:
<%= javascript_include_tag 'all.js' %>
... you always get the same path, regardless of the contents of all.js:
<script src='/javascripts/all.js'>
Because browsers tend to cache assets for a while, this means that users might not get your changes until their cache expires.
You can fix this by adding (or uncommenting) this in config.rb:
configure :build do
activate :asset_hash
end
This will give your asset paths fingerprints:
<script src='/javascripts/all-3e02c23b.js'>
Note that the built files will now only include the fingerprinted version. There won't be an all.js anymore. So make sure to use helpers when refering to asset paths.
