I am trying to fix an old drupal module that has errors, but I can not get any of my changes to become visible on the site.
We have test server and "real" server. I copied the module (let's call it module A) files from the "real" server to test. Now the page shows OK as long as I have module A folder in modules folder (in Drupal). Now we get to the unexpected part: as long as module folder A has its info.xml file intact no changes occur, whenever I change the module, control or callback files.
I have noticed that I can rename or comment out all the files I want as long as info.xml is OK and no changes will occur on the test server site. I have tried clearing all caches, running the .php command to invoke emptying all caches and even cleared Drupal cache tables from database.
Now I have no idea what could cause the module to function this way. Only time I can get the module to crash is when I rename the module A folder or rename the .xml file
What could I do to make it retrieve fresh data from the module, callback and control files?
