Firebase deploy not updating JS file

I deployed a Firebase app, and made a change to one of the JavaScript files in the project. I re-executed firebase deploy from the project directory, but the files on the site are not updating. When I deploy, the account management shows that an update occurs, but the file remains unchanged. Am I doing something incorrectly? How can I fix/troubleshoot this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

  • If the deploy is successful, this is likely a caching issue.

    You can try pressing cmd+shift+R (ctrl+shift+R on Windows) to do a hard refresh of the cache.

    Try going to the file's URL directly (https://<my-app>.web.app/app.js), and do a hard refresh. You should see it update to what you have locally.

    With Chrome, you can have the cache disable when DevTools are open by selecting the "Disable cache" option in the Network tab.
