When deploying firebase files, index.html is not being updated

Question

When I open a terminal in my firebase folder with all the dependancies and files etc, and I type 'firebase deploy' into the terminal, all works fine and functions are updated and rules are updated, but the changes to index.html are not pushed to the website. Is there a setting I can check or something that would make it push again?

Answer 1

Assuming you are hosting the index.html in addition to function deployments: Is the index.html file in the folder specified under "hosting": { and not in the ignored files?

You can also run firebase deploy --only hosting to only deploy hosting related changes.

Since the file is in your root directory you need to set that as the public directory for firebase

{
  "hosting": {
    "public": "/",
    ...
  }
}
