Add dev addon not refreshing

I downloaded and installed the MyDOM sample plugin successfully via "Add dev addon" `http://localhost:8080/addon.json`.

Afters I copied that to another directory, did a global search/replace of the "MyCompany_MyPlugin" to start customizing...then uninstalled the MyDOM addon and restarted Construct.

Then, when running my local http-server in the new directory, it still loads the old addon.json. If I load `http://localhost:8080/addon.json` in the browser it brings up the correct/newer file but Construct does not.

If I change the port number then it worked (but uninstalling the MyDOM plugin crashed and necessitated clearing the cache): it appears that each time I want to change the ID or add another custom plugin I have to increment the port number.

Is there something I'm missing in the process? Thank you!

I'm not entirely sure, but if you use "https" instead of "http" it probably shouldn't be a problem.

you can look at this link for the https server.

It doesn't make a difference.

I don't have a problem loading an add-on; the problem seems to be that once a url gets associated with a plugin-id you can't load another addon from that url [without clearing the browser cache].

It may be an issue with your local server and C3 editor caching behavior.

I use C3IDE on windows to develop and to serve developer versions of addon files and it works well (addon changes are reflected after C3 restart.)

On Mac I use nodemon and a server.js script which reloads the local server on addon file changes, which also works well (after C3 restart.)
