Minified filename hash never changes

[jaketoolson]

When building and deploying, the minified hash in the filename never changes. It's always main.9d6505b9.js.

Is this intended behavior?

(seems like a solution could be related to: #4156)

The problem I run into is the browser cache -- the minified files are cached, however, when I deploy obviously the contents changes. Without doing this, various functionality is broken until refreshed. Maybe I'm doing something wrong in my build/deploy as I assume others would run into this problem and report it. Or I'm assuming most people eject? 🤷

Current infrastructure is AWS ECS with load balancing and api gateway to multiple instances. Deployment is blue/green.

It appears this minified hash (salt?) is derived from name inside package.json. If I change the name value, the hash changes. To ensure the hash is always different on build/deploy, I assign the package.json name value to a random string:

RUN npm install -g json
RUN n=6; output=$(tr -cd '[:alnum:]' < /dev/urandom | head -c$n) && json -I -f package.json -e "this.name=\"${output}\""
