Question 3
Subject: Workers not applied
I've just added a Worker on the Cloudflare Dashboard for my website: it works in the debugger but doesn't work when I query the site. Why is that? Is there anything to activate or anything I could check?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for reaching out regarding your Cloudflare Worker. If your Worker works in the debugger but not when you query your site, here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
- Ensure Proper Deployment: Make sure that the Worker has been successfully deployed. Sometimes, changes in the Cloudflare Dashboard might not be applied if the deployment process hasn’t been completed. Verify that the Worker’s deployment status is “active.”
- Verify Worker Assignment: Check if the Worker is correctly assigned to the routes you intend to use. Go to the "Workers" section in your Cloudflare dashboard, and confirm that the Worker is assigned to the appropriate URL pattern or route.
- Review Route Configuration: Ensure the URL route specified in your Worker configuration exactly matches the URL you are querying. A mismatch here can prevent the Worker from being applied. Confirm that the route settings in the dashboard match the actual request URL.
- Check Cache Settings: Cloudflare’s cache might be serving a cached version of your site, which may not reflect recent changes. Clear the cache or try accessing the site from a different browser or incognito mode to ensure you are seeing the most recent version of your site.
- Inspect Logs: Review the logs provided in the Cloudflare dashboard for your Worker. This can help identify any errors or issues that might be causing the Worker to fail in production. Logs can provide valuable insight into what might be going wrong.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please provide additional details about your Worker configuration, and I’ll be happy to assist further.
