Old script version is cached and no longer exists with update about civ-drafter HOT 3 CLOSED

If I understand correctly, the HTML file was cached, and thus pointed to a JS file that no longer existed? I migrated over to Cloudflare a couple of months ago to save on hosting costs. Unlike S3, it removes older assets on each build.

I may have to check why the HTML file is getting cached, when it should never be cached except for when using offline. There may also be some annoying confounding factor with the implementation of the Progressive Web App, as Workbox is a bit of a black box to me.

I think this should be resolved for future instances.

Anyone who visited an older version of the website prior to this latest update may have to do CTRL + F5 several times before the service worker updates to pulling index.html from the network first. On subsequent application updates, the service worker should always pull the latest index.html (which points to the latest/valid JavaScript files) first, which should prevent the situation you encountered from happening again.

I also updated the Cloudflare rules to keep an edge-cached version of the non-service worker JavaScript files for at least six months in case a user's application references an older version.
