Node.js Question

Relay/GraphQL Schema cache not updating when I update schema on server side

I have a React app using Relay and a remote GraphQL server. When I start the webpack server, I have it fetch the latest schema and feed it into the babel-relay-plugin.

It works great....except when I make a schema change. It appears React or Relay or webpack or something is caching the schema, because I'll get a Schema validation error in the browser console when I run the app. However, when I run the query manually against the GraphQL server using GraphIQL, the query is successful. So it would have to be some sort of cache on the react, relay, webpack side I'm thinking?

Things I've tried:

List item

Restarting webpack server

Removing
node_modules
and
npm install

I've even tried restarting my computer (that actually seemed to work, but may be coincidence)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Turns out, of course, it was human error. I had cacheDirectory as true in my babel-loader query. You can read about it on the babel-loader readme (just do a find on page for 'cacheDirectory') https://github.com/babel/babel-loader

Once I changed that to false, which is the default. The problem went away. Hope that helps others.
