Prefill fields via URL are not working #1079

Closed ggolan closed 5 years ago

ggolan commented 5 years ago

Bug Description

While attempting to use the prefill behavior via URL defined in the FAQ (https://github.com/firasdib/Regex101/wiki/FAQ#how-to-prefill-the-fields-on-the-interface-via-url) the fields are not prefilled as expected. This behavior worked a few weeks ago but no longer works when I try it now.

Reproduction steps

  1. Put the following url into a web browser: https://regex101.com/?regex=myregex&testString=mystring
  2. View the resulting page that is not populated with the requested regex and test string.

Expected Outcome

The appropriate fields to be populated using the values passed in via the URL.

This seems to be an issue with the service worker, caching too aggressively (every programmers favourite problem).

I need to re-evaluate how I cache things, and how to manage offline vs online.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I've pushed a fix for this. It will require you to close all tabs you have open with regex101.com, and then reopen a new tab (this is the standard update behavior for the service worker -- I haven't found the need to invalidate peoples caches more often than this during normal usage).

If it still doesn't work, please comment here.
