A small question, I've installed a package on my project (vega-lite) using npm install some time ago. today I ran "npm install vega-lite" again, to get a new version. However, when I run shadow-cljs, it still uses the old version. How do I make it use the new version?

I tried removing the package, and shadow-cljs noticed it's missing, but when re-installing it it still seems to compile the old version somehow

@ozfraier shadow-cljs should be using whatever is at node_modules/vega-lite. so make sure that is actually the version you want.

On node modules, the version in package.json is 4.9.0, But looking at the source in chromium development tools, it shows a file that starts with:

shadow$provide["module$node_modules$vega_lite$build$vega_lite"] = function(global,require,module,exports) {
var Buffer = require('buffer').Buffer;
(function (global, factory) {
    typeof exports === 'object' && typeof module !== 'undefined' ? factory(exports) :
    typeof define === 'function' && define.amd ? define(['exports'], factory) :
    (global = global || self, factory(global.vegaLite = {}));
}(this, (function (exports) { 'use strict';

    var name = "vega-lite";
    var author = "Dominik Moritz, Kanit \"Ham\" Wongsuphasawat, Arvind Satyanarayan, Jeffrey Heer";
    var version = "4.2.0";
    var collaborators = [
    	"Kanit Wongsuphasawat ()",
    	"Dominik Moritz ()",
    	"Arvind Satyanarayan ()",
    	"Jeffrey Heer ()"
    ];
etc...

well did you look at that actual file?

it wouldn't be the first time that package.json contains a different version than some constant in the code

but other than that did you restart after updating node_modules?

sometimes the cache seems to get confused and miss an update if too many files change

restart should fix it

and are you sure you are in the correct folder?

also common source of error ...

<project>/node_modules/vega-lite assuming you didn't overwrite any path related stuff in your config

Restarting didn't work, Hmm, I checked the actual file <project>/node_modules/vega-lite/build/vega-lite.js and it has version 4.9.0. Made sure I'm in the right folder.. Maybe the shadow-cljs.edn config can help?

{:lein   true

                         :output-dir "resources/public/js/compiled"
                         :asset-path "/js/compiled"
                         :modules    {:app {:init-fn  crystal-web-client.core/init
                                            :preloads [devtools.preload
                                                       day8.re-frame-10x.preload]}}
                         :dev        {:compiler-options {:closure-defines {re-frame.trace.trace-enabled?        true
                                                                           day8.re-frame.tracing.trace-enabled? true}}}
                         :devtools   {:http-root "resources/public"
                                      :http-port 8280}
                         }

looks fine

you can try wiping the resources/public/js/compiled dir or the .shadow-cljs/builds cache dir

but this is really basic cache invalidation and that should work fine

Wiping .shadow-cljs/builds did the trick, many thanks!
