Service Worker is not updated on save or build

[tbasallo]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

When updating the service worker, the built version in the bin folder is never updated. This is true whether you save or build. A Rebuild does replace the file in the bin folder.

*This is not an issue with the browser not picking up a new version of the service worker.

Expected Behavior

Changes to any files in the project should be reflected in the working directory

Steps To Reproduce

This bug exists in a brand-new project using VS 2022, latest and preview.

Exceptions (if any)

No response

.NET Version

7

@mkArtakMSFT - here you go.

I didn't do it to begin with because it's literally a brand new project. Additionally, You can see that I update the SW and it never updates in the browser nor in the bin folder. If I rebuild it will rebuild. I didn't show that, but it does work.

I added a video clip of the steps as an example.

@tbasallo does visiting with an incognito browser update it?

I don't remember the exact details, but we might have changed the SW to avoid copying it during build, as we can make an update to it during build and serve it without having to copy it to the output folder.
