ERPNext Fetching Old Frontend Code Even After Migration & Rebuild

:wrench: Issue: ERPNext Fetching Old Frontend Code Even After Migration & Rebuild

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a strange issue on multiple ERPNext sites where the frontend keeps fetching old code, even though:

  • I’ve created and pushed changes in a custom app

  • I pulled the latest code on the server

  • Ran bench migrate, bench build, and bench restart

  • Cleared website cache using:

    bench --site my-site-name clear-cache
bench --site my-site-name clear-website-cache

  • Cleared browser cache (even used incognito and different networks)

  • The code (e.g., certain JS functions or HTML blocks) does not exist anymore in the server files, but it still shows in the browser

  • Reinstalled the app and reloaded docs

  • Confirmed the correct app is installed and listed via bench list-apps

Despite all this, ERPNext keeps serving old cached frontend assets, like JS or HTML templates.

:mag:Environment Details:

  • ERPNext Version: ERPNext: v15.43.0 (version-15)
  • Frappe Framework: v15.48.0 (version-15)
  • Hosting: [VPS]
  • Reverse Proxy: Nginx (default from bench setup)

:question: What I’ve Tried:

  • bench build --force
  • bench restart
  • sudo service nginx reload
  • Verified files are updated in apps/my_custom_app/
  • Changed browsers and devices

Still, the browser shows stale assets and UI from previous versions of my app.

:pushpin: Question:

What could be causing this aggressive caching of old assets in ERPNext?
Is there something I’m missing in the asset pipeline, or does this relate to Nginx/Redis?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
