Worldmap not working with default endpoint

I have a world map flow I have been using for a while that pulls in all of the buses and light rail vehicles for my area. I have it running in two different systems. I upgraded both of them to the latest world map (1.5.21) yesterday to have the labels display. After upgrading, one of the system no longer populates the buses and light rail vehicles if I am using the default endpoint of "worldmap" (e.g. http://ip_address:1880/worldmap). It will show the map but just doesn't populate items on it. If I change it to use any other end point (I have done "test" and "worldmap1") then it works fine.

I have deleted the node and installed it again but I still have the same issue. I'm at a loss of where to even look. Here is my flow. If you want to see if it works you will need to register for a free developer account with TriMet (our local transportation company) here. Then, in the HTTP Request node called "TriMet Vehicles", set the URL to https://developer.trimet.org/ws/v2/vehicles?appID=XXX (replace XXX with the App ID you get after registering).

Since it works on my other system I'm thinking there isn't anything wrong with my flow and instead there is something wrong with the Worldmap node on my system. I set the logging to Trace (trace-log.txt (9.0 KB)) but nothing in there stands out.

If it works when you change the endpoint are you sure it’s not browser cacheing?
Have you tried resetting your browser?

odd ... as usual.. it works for me... so need some more digging...

Not sure why that didn't cross my mind. Clearing the cache fixed the issue. I still find it weird that it started happening in the first place but at least it was an easy fix.

Thanks

The worldmap uses fairly aggressive caching to help reduce load times, but this does mean you need to flush the cache when upgrading versions in order to ensure latest client matches the server side.
