index.html served from service worker cache

[jchapelle]

Hello, I'm using the reactboilerplate.
Guys from the community encounter trouble with the caching of the spa.
Can you help ?

The configuration is as below. I've just added the index.html file in the exclude list.
However, the index.html file keeps being served by service worker after first load of the app.
How can I disable the caching of index.html ?

    // Put it in the end to capture all the HtmlWebpackPlugin's
    // assets manipulations and do leak its manipulations to HtmlWebpackPlugin
    new OfflinePlugin({
      relativePaths: false,
      publicPath: '/',
      appShell: '/',

      // No need to cache .htaccess. See http://mxs.is/googmp,
      // this is applied before any match in `caches` section
      excludes: ['.htaccess', 'index.html'],

      caches: {
        main: [':rest:'],

        // All chunks marked as `additional`, loaded after main section
        // and do not prevent SW to install. Change to `optional` if
        // do not want them to be preloaded at all (cached only when first loaded)
        additional: ['*.chunk.js'],
      },

      // Removes warning for about `additional` section usage
      safeToUseOptionalCaches: true,
    })

Did you ever solve this? I tried '/' and ''

Actually, excludes: ['index.html'] worked for me. I'm generating the index file with html-webpack-plugin

I finally stopped using this package
