Versioned Clientlibs Dispatcher caching

Question

I have seen many posts on this but many seem old or potentially outdated as far as what to do.

We are utilizing ACS commons versioned clientlibs. The versioning is working great, but the dispatcher is not recaching the new versioned files.

I have verified that the versioned files are updated from the clientside. But when I navigate to the clientlibs path in the dispatcher, the old versions are still present. I have followed all instructions from different guides on implementing this technique. Is there a commonality or something that stands out that I must be missing on forcing the Dispatcher to cache the new versioned clientlibs?

There are various ways to achieve the automation of dispatcher flush

Curl command https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/dispatcher-cache-clear-by-curl-script/m-p/212350
acs-commons(on-demand manually): https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/dispatcher-flush-ui/index.html
She’ll script: https://aem6solutions.blogspot.com/2020/06/clear-dispatcher-cache-remotely-via.html?m=1

all the above are configurable and you can request the flush to specific paths. As @arunpatidar mentioned client- libs will have new version number with each code change so flushing the aem pages will make a fresh request to updated versioned client-libs, however in this case your cache will still create new client libs file with different versions which eventually fill up the cache directory so would recommend you to do the flush for both client-libs and html or as per your requirements

I believe your client lib get updated with new code drop and after code drop you don’t see the updated versioned client libs on your dispatcher means your dispatcher is still caching the old cache. So, probably you need a dispatcher flush with each code drop. You can either automate it via a script or you can also use acs-commons dispatcher flush utility to make a flush request on demand.
