Description 📖
Safari had an annoying bug where it will ignore changes to CSS files, breaking the developer's hot-reload experience. The Vite Ruby troubleshooting guide recommends moving CSS into the JS entrypoint as a workaround.
However, in Safari 17.5, the problem is now even worse: the bug now affects JS files as well. That means the previously documented workaround is no longer a solution for the entire scope of Safari HMR issues.
Background 📜
Ultimately, the problem is a known bug in Safari where it aggressively caches JS and CSS files that are marked
rel=preload.https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193533
The Fix 🔨
Update the Vite Ruby troubleshooting guide with a more robust workaround: disable the
rel=preloadLink header in development. This completely solves the issue for me.FWIW, I'm running:
macOS 14.5 (23F79)
Safari 17.5 (19618.2.12.11.6)
