App not updating even though GIT is pushing

Posted on August 11, 2024

I have a app platform with an app made with NextJS connected to Github. Every change I’ve made to my app the last 2 days have not updated the app. The app deploys and builds correctly, but it seems like it has been stuck in an older version. It’s strange because before that everything worked fine, and I have not made any critical changes on my app, except html changes.

Note: I have tried doing a forced redeploy with clearing build cache, but that also did not do anything.

I checked git status, and I saw that some ./npm files were present but untracked. I did git fetch and git pull, but I read that doing git push from the DO console was not recommended. I don’t know how to proceed. Thanks!

Hi there,

If the build and deploy logs are not showing any errors and if the force deploy did not help, it sounds like that it might be just local caching for your browser. Have you tried visiting your app via a different browser or clearing the cache of your browser to see if you can get to your latest version?

If this is still not the case and you’ve tried visiting your site from another device or browser, I could suggest reaching out to the DigitalOcean support team to check if they could investigate and advise you further on this:
