lightning component: how to force refresh page when redirecting

Question

I created a custom action which is a lightning component to deactivate the current order and then redirect to the same page. The order is deactivated successfully but after redirecting, the order page still shows the old status until I refresh the page manually.

I have already disabled lightning experience caching but it still doesn't work very well.

Related Apex code:

    relatedOrder.ActivatedById = null;
    relatedOrder.ActivatedDate = null;
    relatedOrder.Status = 'Draft';
    update relatedOrder;
    System.debug('Finished order update');
    Order orderAfterUpdate = [Select Id, Status From Order Where Id = :relatedOrder.Id];
    System.debug('After status is: ' + orderAfterUpdate.Status); //This status has no issue

Related JS code:

    var navEvt = $A.get("e.force:navigateToSObject");
    navEvt.setParams({
        "recordId": orderId
    });
    navEvt.fire();

Answer 1

Try to put this $A.get('e.force:refreshView').fire(); into your controller before navigating to another object.

Controller:

$A.get('e.force:refreshView').fire();
var navEvt = $A.get("e.force:navigateToSObject");
navEvt.setParams({
    "recordId": orderId
});
navEvt.fire();

Answer 2

I was also facing the same issue, also tried with $A.get('e.force:refreshView').fire(); but it does not work for me. As it is a known issue, I finally decided to go for:-

window.location.href = '/'+recordid ;

This always gives us a properly refreshed view. I am sure this is not best practice to navigate through window function in lightning, but you can rely on it till salesforce solves that known issue.
