Same issue, tried using the CLI as well and it seems to be caching the stylesheets for a long period of time. It’s annoying but the only way to develop or make changes to the stylesheets is injecting the styles directly into the head of the document which is super super annoying. Shopify’s support has been outsourced and it seems and even on a Plus store, we cannot get a technical person to give us any kind of direction. Another thread popped up last week with the same issue and they said they have escalated the issue but i’m still having the same problems. I’m not sure when it will be fixed.
One more alternate is to rename files frequently which is very annoying too. It should be fixed soon as It has drastically slowed down the development process.
I’ve been having issues since Friday 8-4-23 seeing updates to my asset file .js.liquid. I’ve found these shopify-cli github repository issues related to it as well https://github.com/Shopify/cli/issues/2614
Thanks for reaching out in our Community Forums and for sharing your concern.
I’m glad to report that the issue has been resolved, and you can now see the changes to the js.liquid files as expected. If you are still experiencing any issues, please try re-saving any asset files that are not displaying correctly on your storefront.
As a workaround, if you rename your file to something else then revert back to the original, it seems to load the latest saved one. I was having an issue with theme.js not updating on CDN, and when I renamed it to theme2.js then change it back it loaded the latest changes.
@Mac_2 does this affect the .js files? I just tried but it still doesn’t look fixed. None of the changes I saved are showing up. Can anyone else confirm that it’s fixed (for .js files if it matters)?
Hey @Mac_2 . Doesn’t look like this caching issue has been solved. Our team are running into long cache flushing times when saving liquid files inside an app block. It’ll take 3-4 minutes every time we save our file for the Shopify hosted one to update. Any tips or pointers? It really slows down our development speed.
Bumping this thread as this is still a recurring issue - slows down our development speed considerably. @Mac_2 please can you assist? This is disappointing support for engineers building on your platform.
Simple updates to liquid files, not js.liquid files are not updating for me. I’ll go so far as to add a static element just to check if changes are reflecting with no luck. Keeps me running around in circles checking and rechecking my syntax and references because I’m not getting any consistent behavior. Can’t develop like this. I’m on 3.50.0 and also had issues on 3.48.1

Hi all - I spoke to Shopify support about this ongoing problem, and here is there response:
“I spoke with the team on this and they are aware that this is a bug and it is on their radar to fix. However there is no definite timeline for when a fix would be rolled out.”
Not the answer I’m sure many of you were hoping to hear - I suspect if more of you reach out to their support team they’ll escalate this bug ticket in their backlog…
