I'm building a PWA with Vue.js / Quasar Framework and recently added the PWA capability. I changed the "workboxPluginMode" property to "InjectManifest" and at first Workbox gave me debug / console as expected. Also, the "custom-service-worker.js" definetly gets picked up by the process because it displays an error when i remove this line:
precacheAndRoute(self.__WB_MANIFEST)
So the file is recognized and actively using the defined caching strategies (i think), but it won't provide me any debug info or console.log's on console anymore. I really don't know what i have changed to do that.
My "custom-service-worker.js" looks like this:
import { precacheAndRoute } from 'workbox-precaching'
import { registerRoute } from 'workbox-routing'
import { StaleWhileRevalidate } from 'workbox-strategies'
console.log('custom service worker active')
// Use with precache injection
precacheAndRoute(self.__WB_MANIFEST)
// Caching strategies
registerRoute(
({url}) => {
console.log(url)
// url.pathname.startsWith('/images')
},
new StaleWhileRevalidate()
);
self.addEventListener('fetch', function(event) {
console.log(event)
event.respondWith(fetch(event.request));
})
I have no clue why, but the console debug output of workbox was only displayed in my default browser (Vivaldi). I wanted to work on plain Chromium because I couldn't install my PWA with Vivaldi (no installation prompt popped up), but that also works now. Have literally no explanation for this, but this is PWA development I guess, it is what it is. Anyways, problem solved for me.
