GWT 2.5.1
Anytime running GWT DevMode
generates a new huge cache file under /tmp
directory now, consequently the OS
warns low disk space
. However, this problem has never popped up in the past.
The file gwtXXXbyte-cache
(XXX being a long random number) is nearly 1 GB big
. Is it normal?
The cache file is cleaned up automatically after the DevMode session ends. BTW, rebooting the machine doesn't help.
@EDIT
In comparison above, running GWT starter application on DevMode
generates the new cache file about 50 MB size
. Is it oversize, too?
@EDIT 2
I modifed GWT UI releated source code and ran DevMode
again. Later, the new huge cache file gwtYYYbyte-cache
(YYY being another long random number) was generated with the same size
as before - exact number of bytes. Any ideas?
@EDIT 3
After manual removal of ./gwt-unitCache
, ./war/WEB-INF/deploy
and ./war/ZZZ
directory (ZZZ being the hosted GWT application on DevMode
), the next DevMode
session generates the /tmp/gwtXXXbyte-cache
file shrinking to a few KB
.
@EDIT 4
Launching DevMode
with the option -workDir DDD
(DDD being another writable directory) doesn't work. The cached staffs keep writing to the default /tmp
directory.
