I'm using Vue.js to create a Progressive Web Application (PWA) as a school project.
Whenever I host the website with Azure I get "Manifest: Line: 1, column: 1, Syntax error
".
I don't have this problem on localhost …
Chrome DevTools responds with :
/manifest.json:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()
/manifest.json:1 Manifest: Line: 1, column: 1, Syntax error.
manifest.json:1 GET https://serviceworkerspike.azurewebsites.net/manifest.json 404
manifest.json:1 Manifest: Line: 1, column: 1, Syntax error.
I have the following line in my index.html
:
<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json">
Here is my manifest.json
file :
{
"name": "MessageBoardUCN",
"short_name": "MessageBoardUCN",
"theme_color": "#ff095a",
"background_color": "#feaaee",
"display": "standalone",
"start_url": "/index.html",
"icons": [
{
"src": "images/icons/icon-72x72.png",
"sizes": "72x72",
"type": "image/png"
},
{
"src": "images/icons/icon-96x96.png",
"sizes": "96x96",
"type": "image/png"
},
{

"sizes": "144x144",

},
{

"sizes": "384x384",
"type": "image/png"
},
{
"src": "images/icons/icon-512x512.png",
"sizes": "512x512",
"type": "image/png"
}
],
"splash_pages": null
}
Using lower-case letters in the name
and short_name
properties – messageboarducn
.
Setting starturl
to the hosted URL or to "/".
Moving the manifest.json
file to the root directory or to the src/
directory, but other guides told me it should be in the same folder as index.html
, and public/
is the default for that.
The hosted URL, https://serviceworkerspike.azurewebsites.net, doesn't work anymore.
I had the exact same problem (on an Azure Windows Web Service). I just created a new web.config in the root folder with the following content (or edit the existing, if there is one):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".json" mimeType="application/json" />
</staticContent>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
This adds the mime configuration for json-files.
