I made a basic app and added cakedc user. When loading the client calls for the css continually :

(this continues even when the page appears to be loaded).
This is related to cakedc user as I’ve never saw this on other test apps I’ve made with out Cakedc user. However I cannot find anyone with a similar issue on their github page. I’m curious if there is something else I’m doing wrong that only manifests itself when using cakedc user.
I’ve verified the urls it repeatedly loads do exist and load.
Static assets should be served directly via the webserver and not go through PHP (and therefore CakePHP). So first make sure your webservers config is setup so the docroot is set to the webroot folder of your cakephp app.
No idea what causes this problem for you. Without a way to reproduce this we can’t really help you here.
might be an issue with the client-side caching of these CSS files, causing the client to repeatedly request them. You can try adding cache-control headers to the server’s response to the CSS file requests to see if that resolves the issue.
Alternatively, there could be a problem with the client-side code that is causing it to continually request the CSS files. In this case, you might want to review the client-side code to see if you can identify the issue.
After running through a bit more of the CakeDC/Users tutorial the problems goes away. So this is no longer a problem but I’m still interested in what was happening (just for knowledge sake). To clarify, serving via bin/cake server, the client never ends it’s request. It keep asking for the files continually. Not just a lack of caching between requests. If I request the homepage the requests for above will just keep coming in until I close the tab. Strange.
That is something you have to debug through your browsers network tab.
Each request has a Initiator tab which you can look at to see if it was triggered by HTML, JS or something else.
