Anyone else not having javascript files update?

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

Multiple developers are experiencing an issue where JavaScript files fail to update on Shopify, despite other file types (Liquid, images) updating normally.

The problem persists even when using the standard asset URL filter with version parameters (<script src="{{ 'XXXXXX.js' | asset_url }}">), which typically forces cache updates.

Current Status:

  • At least three users have confirmed experiencing the same issue
  • One user reports being unable to proceed with any development work
  • A GitHub issue has been referenced (Shopify/cli/issues/2614), suggesting this may be a known problem with Shopify’s CLI tools

The discussion remains open with no solution provided yet. Users are seeking workarounds or fixes to restore normal JavaScript file updating functionality.

Hi guys,

Liquid/image files etc. are all fine, but when I update any JS file, it simply will not update on Shopify’s end. The ?v=… will no longer update when using

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Yes me too, I’m not sure what to do about this I can’t really do any development. Nothing I do seems to have any effect.
