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

[julian]

@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.
