I am creating an embedded Shopify extension but suddenly it stops showing changes I deployed the app then it showed the changes but when I started the server or Shopify app dev it was showing old code again then I turned off the development store preview it started to show the deployed code but not the changes I just made.

kindly somebody help.

Hi Vishal,
Could you try updating the Shopify CLI and see if the problem still persists?

Having a similar issue with a theme extension and the javascript being installed on npx shopify app dev but the script in console is showing the last version. Reinstalled shopify cli and not change. Changes in liquid templates are not syncing either. Maybe rebuild?

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Okay - still persisting, for whatever reason when npx shopify app dev is run from cli it shows the files being installed and none of the updates are being installed. Not in liquid or javascript. Updated cli to current version and no dice.

Same thing is happening to me. I keep uninstalling and reinstalling the app and I’m getting various problems with the app. Some cases where it’s showing the old code running and other cases where it’s the new code running.

shopify app dev is not showing javascript updates so each time the script changes, I have to redeploy. That’s a bad experience. Like really bad.

Same issue.

This is horrible. I’m hitting the same issue - end up figuring it out?

Me too. It was working yesterday. It suddenly stopped updating today - I don’t even see the extension logs in app dashboard.

I ended up deploying the app to a newer version of it in the development app (no live users) and it corrected itself. I cannot tell if it is caching or something else. When looking in console, I could see that the new script was not there based on the functions in it. Not ideal, but necessary. BTW - the CLI was current.

Got it - turns out there was an issue yesterday - they confirmed in slack. Has been resolved.

Cool. I also refreshed the store I am working in to give it time to appear. The liquid and HTML changes come fast but the scripting not so much.

Did they ever say what the issue was here - it’s back again. I updated CLI to make sure I am current (and already was) but the new script is not posting. It feels like that guy from the movie Airplane who unplugs the runway lights when you are posting your script and he says “Just kidding…” LOL. Likely deploy again to bypass the issue but not sure why it’s there in the first place.
