    Changing an XSLT macro has no effect, old code is still used

    Only when I restart the web server is the new XSLT code loaded and parsed. 

    For development I need to be able to 'just refresh' to see changes to my code, how can I enable this?

    By the way, the XSLT macro I am changing is imported in another macro through xsl:import.

    Hi Michiel,

    Due to the way Umbraco caches the XSLT macro (once it is compiled), the cache is only expired if there is a change to the XSLT file itself. This doesn't apply to any included/imported XSLT files.

    2 options are:

    1. Touch/modify the 'parent' XSLT file - this can be a pain if you are re-using the imported XSLT across many macros.
    2. Use the XSLTouch package - this will auto-touch any XSLT files that use the imported XSLT. (Warning it doesn't work on Medium Trust)

    Cheers, Lee.

    Thank you for this information! I'm going to install XLSTouch for development.

    Do you think it makes sense to open a work item for this? Or is it not possible to expire the cache for imported macros?

    IMHO, it is not worth opening a workitem for this.  The XSLT compiler/transform isn't aware of the includes/imports, treating it as 1 single XSLT file. Umbraco isn't aware when included/imported XSLT files are changed. (Which is the problem XSLTouch solves)

    Also given the focus is gearing towards the Razor implementation - I doubt XSLT will be allocated any TLC in future. (Despite my best efforts) :-(
