Intellij is not updating html file when updating resources

Question

Every time i change something on html file i have to restart the whole project. i tried:-

-> Edit Configurations -> server and changed on frame detection to update resources.

on my server tab update resources on frame detection is also on. but still i cannot update my html files and i have to restart server to reflect my changes.

Intellij Idea version is 2017.

But are you using plain html or a template engine that outputs html? — Juan Carlos Mendoza, Aug 29 '17 at 02:24

You have to add this option in your properties file:

spring.thymeleaf.cache=false

Here is the documentation that explains this feature.

Try to clear your browser's cache as @ochi said. [Here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14659142/spring-mvc-with-thymeleaf-update-static-data) is a post that could help you too. – Juan Carlos Mendoza Aug 29 '17 at 02:51

As @Juan Carlos Mendoza says you have to add this property

spring.thymeleaf.cache=false

Plus to update the resources, hit Ctrl+F9 then the project will build the new resources and make them available
