Rails assets are cached even in Development

Question

Here is my Development.rb file

  # In the development environment your application's code is reloaded on
  # every request. This slows down response time but is perfect for development
  # since you don't have to restart the web server when you make code changes.
  config.cache_classes = false

  # Log error messages when you accidentally call methods on nil.
  config.whiny_nils = true

  # Show full error reports and disable caching
  config.consider_all_requests_local       = true
  config.action_controller.perform_caching = false
  config.assets.digest = true
  config.serve_static_assets = false

For some reason even in the development environment my CSS files are being cached and I can't figure out why

Was having similar issue: Javascript files were cached by the rails server

Solution (as mentioned by TheIrishGuy):

Stop Rails Server
$rake tmp:cache:clear
Start Rails Server
Crtl+F5 in the browser

Did you precompile any assets? If so check the public assets folder and remove.

Try clearing /tmp/cache/assets

Make sure the browser isn't caching the application.css, force refresh etc

I have cleared everything out and every time I remove the tmp/cache/assets directory, my app re-creates it... – dennismonsewicz Aug 06 '13 at 15:01
In development the fingerprint version of every asset is being read – dennismonsewicz Aug 06 '13 at 15:04
