Strange caching behaviour when eiditing templates

[PeterMonsson]

Hi,

I do the following:

1. Create a template
2. Generate that template
3. Edit same template
4. Remove old generated file
5. Generate again.

I observe that I get the first version of the template and not the newest.

Why is this happening? I can't see any cache that I can remove

I have tracked down this error. Emacs creates backup files ending with ~. Other editors do something similar with for example .bak files. The file ending with ~ or .bak will overwrite the main file, so that is what is create the strange caching behaviour.

Is this something that you want a pull request for?

Hi @PeterMonsson, am I understanding correctly that VTE is creating content from the ~ template that overwrites content from the template? If that's the case, then it seems reasonable to have VTE filter out templates that end with '~'.

Yes, this is the case.
