Bug 231707 – Committers/contributors autocomplete failing

• Status: NEW
• Component: WebKit Website

[Sam Sneddon [:gsnedders]]

Many people are having Bugzilla autocompletion fail to work since https://commits.webkit.org/242672@main landed six days ago.

While https://commits.webkit.org/241245@main landed over a month ago, committers-autocomplete.js is served as cacheable for a year, hence we actually need to wait a year for caches to expire or load the file from a different URL (e.g. by adding a query string to it).

That's the bit that seems like the bug. contributors.json is updated once or twice a month.

contributors.json is uncacheable (which arguably is bad too!), it's only the committers-autocomplete.js script which is cached for too long.

Oh, missed that it was the JS file. That makes more sense.
