Installing a local extension causes it to get cached, and it can't be changed and re-installed again

[Ruin0x11]

I was trying to follow the steps at Local Setup to install a new theme. I ran http-server in a theme extension's directory and installed it with the URL http://localhost:8001/ext.json. This is on Windows. Then I changed some things and uninstalled the extension. When I re-installed the extension, the changes were not reflected in the application. The only way to fix this was to change the extension identifier and port number in the url every time I make a change. It's confusing since otherwise it looks like the install succeeds.

Yes @Ruin0x11, the extensions are cached. You can open DevTools, then go to the Network tab and make sure "Disable cache" is checked. Your extension should not be cached as long as DevTools is open.

@johnny243 Thanks for clarifying. Can this be added to the docs so nobody else gets caught by this? (https://docs.standardnotes.org/extensions/local-setup)
