Description
Invokes pyxform every time "Download XML" is clicked, which avoids serving stale XForm XML in certain situations. For example, prior to this work, if a form had not been changed since its XForm XML was last generated, but the behavior of pyxform had changed, clicking "Download XML" would have ignored the pyxform changes.
Please note that the XForm XML obtained from "Download XML" is not identical to the XForm XML generated when deploying a form. Deploying or redeploying a form was not affected by this stale XML issue, even prior to this change.
Notes
I did not add a unit test or attempt to mock the response by pyxform to simulate changes to its behavior. The reviewer may make the determination about the sufficiency of my approach.
