Dexie-cloud's service worker fails due to missing RxJS

[sarink]

The below config copies the dexie-cloud-addon's service-worker to the root directory, and configures a workbox service-worker to load it via importScripts

// vite.config.ts
export default defineConfig(() => {
  return {
    plugins: [
      viteStaticCopy({
        targets: [
          {
            src: 'node_modules/dexie-cloud-addon/dist/umd/service-worker.js',
            dest: '.',
            rename: 'dexie-cloud-service-worker.js',
          },
        ],
      }),
      VitePWA({
        workbox: {
          importScripts: ['/dexie-cloud-service-worker.js'],
        },
      }),
    ],
  };
});

However, the dexie service worker throws at runtime because RxJS is not available

Are we supposed to be compiling this ourselves or something? I would have thought the service-worker script was completely standalone and included all necessary dependencies

What's the recommended way to configure the dexie cloud service worker?

The service-worker does not bundle neither dexie or rxjs.

If the service worker uses importScripts() it should import all three:

importScripts('<dexie UMD module, downloaded from https://dexie.org/docs/Download or https://unpkg.com/dexie/dist/dexie.min.js>')
importScripts('<rxjs downloaded from https://unpkg.com/rxjs/dist/bundles/rxjs.umd.min.js>');
importScripts('<dexie-cloud-addon, downloaded from https://unpkg.com/dexie-cloud-addon/dist/umd/dexie-cloud-addon.min.js'>);

The docs only mention importing the service-worker, this might be a nice addition :). Works now!

Since implementing the service worker, I have noticed that syncing is not working as expected.

For example, I currently have two tabs open, made a change in one tab, and the update has not synced to the other tab (which has sat there open for about 4 hours now).

If I open a new incognito window incognito and log in, the initial sync works and I see the updates I was looking for, so the data has correctly been persisted in dexie cloud (probably because I made the update via the rest api in the admin ui I built, bypassing indexeddb), but for some reason those changes are not syncing to existing tabs.

Note that I added a build number version so I have verified that all the tabs are running the latest code and the service worker is updating/registering itself correctly

Any debugging tips?

@dfahlander any ideas? I've had to just disable the tryUseServiceWorker for now, can't get it to sync at all...
