Why did the developers stop updating assets automatically?

Question

Ruby on Rails

Since some time in the project such undesirable behavior began to be observed. Every time the javascript changes either styles or icons, the cache needs to be cleared in the browser to see the change. I’m tired of doing it manually (. I don’t know what settings it might be connected with. In production, everything is fine. In development, everything is bad and does not depend on changing the browser.

Answer 1

switching to the last rail removed the problem

Answer 2

View changelog or compare with default:
config/initializers/assets.rb
config/environments/development.rb
Gemfile

Answer 3

rake assete:precompile
run by hand?
You can also try:

rake assets:clean
rake tmp:cache:clear
