code-push has no effect on certain content

Hi,

I have the following scenario.

a.html includes a.js a.js in case it is running as an app in iOS reads a file b.txt from local filesystem:

function readFromFile(fileName, cb, fail) {
  var pathToFile = (cordova.file.applicationDirectory.startsWith('http') ? appServer : cordova.file.applicationDirectory +'www/')+ fileName;
  window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(pathToFile, function (fileEntry) {
      fileEntry.file(function (file) {
          var reader = new FileReader();
          reader.onloadend = function (e) {
              cb(this.result);
          };

          reader.readAsText(file);
      });
  }, function(e) {
	  fail();
  });
  
}

What I see is that if I make changes to a.html or a.js then code-push can update them, however if I make a change to b.txt, that has no effect, a.js will load the original version of b.txt.

I am using the following plugins:

cordova-plugin-camera   	npm	^4.1.0	4.1.0	android,ios,winphone
cordova-plugin-camera-preview   	npm	^0.11.0	0.11.0	android,ios,winphone
cordova-plugin-code-push   	npm	^1.11.20	1.11.20	android,ios,winphone
cordova-plugin-file   	npm	^6.0.2	6.0.2	android,ios,winphone
cordova-plugin-file-transfer   	npm	^1.7.1	1.7.1	android,ios,winphone
cordova-plugin-geolocation   	npm	^4.0.2	4.0.2	android,ios,winphone
cordova-plugin-inappbrowser   	npm	^2.0.2	2.0.2	android,ios,winphone
cordova-plugin-splashscreen   	npm	^5.0.3	5.0.3	android,ios,winphone
cordova-plugin-whitelist   	npm	^1.3.4	1.3.4	android,ios,winphone
cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine   	npm	^1.2.1	1.2.1	android,ios,winphone
cordova-plugin-wkwebview-file-xhr   	npm	^2.1.1	2.1.1	android,ios,winphone
cordova-plugin-zip   	npm	^3.1.0	3.1.0	android,ios,winphone
cordova.plugins.diagnostic   	npm	^5.0.0	5.0.0	android,ios,winphone
phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner   	npm	^7.1.2	7.1.2	android,ios,winphone
phonegap-plugin-push   	npm	^2.2.3	2.2.3	android,ios,winphone

Am I doing something wrong?

Could be that cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine is the cause of the issue and that cordova-plugin-wkwebview-file-xhr is not intercepting these type of access to the filesystem?

Thanks, Csaba

I made some further tests and it is clear that the same html page which is loaded through the browser if also loaded by xhr the content will be different after the update. The one which will be loaded by xhr will remain unchanged, the code-push has not effect on that file.
