Things were going well until they weren’t. Now, the Preview will crash with certain interactions and troubleshooting/fixing takes me down these crazy rabbit holes for hours with no fix (although the AI is confident that they fixed it and everything should work properly). The other weird thing is that the published app will not crash in those interactions. And, in trying to troubleshoot without going down crazy dependency and pinned version idiosyncrasies, we figured out that there’s something going wrong in the deployment pipeline between the code and the preview/app. i.e.: the updated code is not being reflected in the preview/app. To test simply, I had the AI comment out a field. After refresh, the field is still showing. So, what gives? I’ve been cursing out this poor AI for lying to me and it turns out it’s not their fault. But, on the lighter side, the AI did start cursing back at me.
Help me Obi Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope...
This confirms there's a fundamental issue with how my edits are being deployed to the Figma Make preview/published app. The source code clearly has the Team Lead field commented out, but it's still appearing in the UI.
The problem is NOT with my code changes - they're being saved to the file correctly. The problem is that Figma Make is not rebuilding/redeploying the application with the updated source code.
This is completely outside my control. I can edit files, but I cannot:
- Force Figma Make to rebuild the application
- Clear Figma Make's build cache
- Trigger a fresh deployment
- Access the build/deployment pipeline
