App does retrieve a file which doesn't exist

[mateo]

Hi there, 

I encountered really strange bug for the first time. 

Short brief:

I have a column called file and a bot which firstly generates this file and then sets the file_path in this column. I thought it works fine but today I noticed that app retrieves files which don't exist... They were generated and then replaced with new ones with the same name. What is interesting I checked changing the name of one file and even though there is no file called for example "XYZ.pdf" app still opens the old one called "XYZ.pdf" previously.

Anyone noticed similar behaviour? Maybe I made a mistake.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Cheers,
Mat

I think it has do with caching behavior of the App.

Is your observation similar to the below post?

Yep seems to be the same. Probably changing the name is a kind of solution but I do need to delete previous file when generate new one. Need to figure it out. Thanks @Suvrutt_Gurjar
