warn: [init] Cache buster not set

aaron

This pops up when I run a local instance. Anyone know what it means or how to fix it?

warn: [init] Cache buster not set

@aaron That warning means that NodeBB could not gather enough information to construct a "cache-buster" string, meaning that it cannot easily invalidate client-side scripts on your users' browsers.

Can you let me know what OS you're running NodeBB on?

aaron

@julian I'm running Mavericks (10.9.1) and Chrome. Should I be worried about the cache warning? Any idea how to fix it?

aaron

Does it have anything to do with the fact that it keeps forgetting my user info and not letting me log in when I run it locally?

julian

Hm... Mac OS... and what happens when you run git describe --tags while inside the NodeBB directory?

aaron

$ git describe --tags
fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.

julian

@aaron what happens if you run git fetch --tags, and then try git describe again?

aaron

$ git fetch --tags
Aarons-MacBook-Air-2:working-forum-5 aaronclaytondunn$ git describe
fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.

@julian Okay I guess I just shouldn't worry about it. Thanks.
