Service Worker not generated in public folder

[mrmonat]

Summary

Starting with version 5.5.5 when running npm run build no sw.js and no workbox-*.js file is generated in the public folder. When downgrading to 5.5.4 everything works as expected.

Versions

• next-pwa: 5.5.5
• next: 12.2.3

How To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Setup a fresh installation of next with next-pwa (following the official next-pwa docs)
2. run npm run build
3. See sw.js and workbox-*.js only in .next folder but not in public folder.

Additional Context

next.config.js:

const withPWA = require('next-pwa')

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
  swcMinify: true,
  pwa: {
    dest: 'public',
    register: true,
  }
}

module.exports = withPWA(nextConfig)

5.5.4 only works when we provide a version in package.json like "5.5.4" and the same issue is repro for version: "^5.5.4"

Same issue. next version 12.2.3 and next-pwa 5.5.4 not generating files.

Temp fix by copying files to .next folder and serve as file

same issue...

[Gabrielpdev]

Same problem here !!!

Temp fix: downgrade to 5.4.0v

[norbert-mosinski]

Solved by leaving the config empty:

const withPWA = require("next-pwa");

module.exports = withPWA({  
});

Solved by leaving the config empty:

@shadowwalker is there any final resolution for this? The only "solution" mentioned in this thread is downgrading to 5.5.4, which seems to be incompatible with the new config format in next.config.js described in next-pwa documentation. And next-pwa is on 5.6.0 now...

[Yorkshireman]

@iacobfred it looks like https://github.com/shadowwalker/next-pwa/pull/372 fixed this, so the latest next-pwa version should work fine.

[jacobjove]

@Yorkshireman thanks. I just realized that the problem was actually with my build process in my multistage Dockerfile. I was copying the public dir from the host rather than from the builder stage, so it didn't include the service worker files that were generated during the builder stage.

[famdude]

I still have the same problem with next 13.4 and next-pwa ^5.6.0

[8kto]

Had the same issue with ^5.6.0. Adding the manual copying to package.json seemingly fixed that:

"postbuild": "cp build/sw.js build/workbox-* public/",
