@veloraven Issue is that Magento2 is easiest way to ruin your customer's business. I haven't slept for more than 2 weeks since launch and all issues are most basic functionalities that one shopping cart should have. Magento team should be ashamed since we are eating what you cooked. And you still even have a nerv to whine about issue formating?
Instead you should have recognized one of most famous unfixed issue in your swamp software.

@deepak-netwin For your issue, do the following until anyone fix this mess up (NEVER).
Go to this file:
vendor/magento/module-customer/view/frontend/web/js/customer-data.js

Line 191 should look like:
privateContent = $.cookieStorage.get('private_content_version');

Add this.reload([], false); just below that line.
That should refresh local storage on every request, but at least it will work.

Hey Tomas,
Thanks for your reply. But I can see my js has already than code. I've added the line this.reload([], false); below it however minicart doesn't show cart items.
Can you please make sure the js file you mentioned above? It is from customer module.

[tomasinchoo]

@deepak-netwin Make sure that you actually load modified version of file.
Maybe you still have it deployed in pub/static, or browser cache.
Try to alert something from that file.

[deepak-netwin]

@tomasinchoo Yes, for now I've directly edited file in pub/static only. But still its not showing cart items http://prntscr.com/dbm2gy

@deepak-netwin Can you at least go to checkout?

[deepak-netwin]

@tomasinchoo No, checkout button also not working.
For now, I've disabled cart dropdown from backend. So when I click on minicart icon its redirecting to checkout page.
