I was testing different ways to handle user notifications in my application yesterday, and for one option I was following a tutorial where I set up service workers to show browser notifications. For this tutorial I was asked to create a file in /public to activate the workers. Everything worked fine, but it ended up being overkill for my needs, so I commited it on a branch, checked back to main and started working on a separate option.
However, since then every time I load or refresh the application, (this is local / dev) I still get a GET request being logged for the JS file in /public. (with a 404 now). I tried
- stashing / clearing stash for all work
- deleting the .next folder
- killing my terminal and reopening it
Nothing is clearing this request. It's not causing any issues (that I can tell), but I do want to know what is happening to so I can understand the underlying architecture and triage this sort of issue in the future.
