Kirby caches path to assets?

[tobystokes]

With following .env settings:

KIRBY_CACHE=true
VITE_SERVICE_WORKER=true
VITE_STALE_WHILE_REVALIDATE=true

If I regenerate the assets with npm run build, the path in <?= vite()->js() ?> doesn't get updated to the latest hash specified in the manifest, because _app-index.php is cached.

Let me know if I'm misunderstanding something here! Would it be enough to just exclude the home page from ever being cached?

That's default behaviour of Kirby and intended if you have caching enabled. When you rebuild, you will have to delete the cache manually. For example, run:

npm run build && rm -rf storage/cache/example

A simpler solution would be to add a custom script. Consider adapting your package.json with a script to delete your cache folder without having to manually adjust the rm -rf script:

"scripts": {
  "kirby:flush-cache": "find storage/cache -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d -exec rm -rf '{}' \\;",
  "build": "... && npm run kirby:flush-cache",
},
