Cache Problem with Inquisit Web

Hi!

We are using Inquisit 4 Web for our Experiment.

I tried to fix several bugs in my files, but the experiment is somehow cached - and the fixes are not being applied.

I tried:

Deleting the Files and reuploading them (checked if they were missing on startup: yes)

Deleting my Browser Cache (Firefox)

Deleting my complete Browser History.


Whenever I start the experiment, I only get to see the old content.

We want to launch our study tomorrow, so this is a really urgent question! Thanks a lot!

Is it possible you are testing from a network that has a proxy server? If so, the proxy server may be the one responsible for caching the content. To determine whether this might be the problem, you'd need to talk to your IT people. You could also test this by trying to access the script from outside the network. Usually, proxy caches expire after a while, so you could just wait it out. This wouldn't affect your participants, I should point out - just your ability to test changes from inside your network.
