I'm testing some small LESS changes in my theme. After every change I delete the contents inside:
pub/static/frontend/mytheme
and
var/view_preprocessed
Then I reload my site and the contents of var/view_processed
(css and source folders) are not created so the new LESS changes aren't applied. However the site loads fine with the previous LESS settings.
After visiting 10-15 pages the css and source folders are created again and I can see my changes finally.
I constantly delete the Magento cache so thats not the issue. I've also set Firefox and Chrome to not save cookies, history, etc. Permissions have been set to 777 to discard that possible cause.
Why dont the contents of var/view_preprocessed
folder get created right after the first reloading of my site?
Best Answer
You can't get
view_processed
folder until you deploy the content in site.You must use deployment command to regenarate the
view_processed
folder.Now you can check inside
var
folder.Now
view_processed
folder is appear.
