Deployment not showing new code for existing branches

Environment information

https://main.d2yfr6uk327l7n.amplifyapp.com/

Describe the bug

After I push code to the branch that already had code on it, I don't see the updates. If I create a new branch, it works fine.

Reproduction steps

Deploy code to a branch.
Deploy some more code.

Hey @chrowe, under the App setting -> Branch setting on selecting Reconnect repository and trigger a new commit does this start the build?

[chrowe]

I should have said that the build happens, but the site does not show the updates.

Ok, this is working now. How long after a deployment is finished should I expect to see the updates on the site. I am testing in incognito mode, so it is not a browser cache issue.

@chrowe Amplify Hosting supports instant cache invalidation after a deployment and thus you should be able to deploy updates to your application immediately without waiting for CloudFront CDN cache to expire or manually invalidating it. Here's a way you can verify whether the application has been updated per the latest deployed changes:

• Review the last updated timestamp for the branch in the Amplify console
• Access the website/URL and inspect the Network tab in the browser's developer console
• Review the last modified timestamp for the assets (js,css or image files)
• Both the last modified and last updated timestamp for the branch should match thereby indicating the latest changes have been deployed.

I am going to close this thread since the application is working as expected but feel free to reopen if you are still running into this issue. Thanks!
