Invalidating Cloudfront Cache

[iMerica]

Hi,

Thanks for building this - really liking it so far!

I've set up Scotty to continually deploy on every git commit using Gitlab. The command is executing successfully, but my assets are never fresh :-(.

Can you point me in the right direction? Is there a built-in solution to this problem, or should I write my own solution using S3 client libraries?

Thanks in advance,

Michael

Hey, it's not doing that at all in version 1 :( That's one of the things v2 will do, but I don't have enough time to finish it. In the meantime, I can share my script for deployment with cache invalidation, in case it helps. It's a smaller version of scotty and it's not a nice CLI command, just a node.js script.

@stojanovic Hi, I am interested in that script, can you please share it? Thanks!

here is a fix for scotty on windows, as I dig in to code, to get scotty working on my machine, Some of that problems occur because outdated packages, and changes in es7

1. install NCU "npm i npm-check-updates -g" it has to be global install
2. Go to C: drive, then select "View" => Options => new window will open, select "View" again and select "Show hidden files, folders and drivers.
3. Open that path in your terminal "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\scottyjs"
4. Run command ncu in your terminal that will check for newest dependencies for scotty.
5. Run ncu -u <= to update packages, then run "npm install"
6. Open scotty in VS code, go to "lib/upload-file.js"
7. On line 23 change ContentType: mime.lookup(fileName),to ContentType: mime.getType (fileName), also in //create-bucket.js, delete-bucket.js, delete-object.js, empty-bucket.js, set-aswebsite.js, set-expiration-dats.js, upload-file.js, upload.js// move this line of code "const s3 = new AWS.S3()" inside function, then inside set-cd.js move "const cloudFront = new AWS.CloudFront()" inside "function setCdn()"
8. Next step is just for aesthetic reasons, but I thing is worth, as it is nice to have a clean code in spec/support/jasmine-runner.js change first line to /* global jasmine */  this will avoid EsLint errors.
9. Now u can add " -- profile dev/test/prod " to your build command in projects package.jason Enjoy fixed Scotty.js
