Google App Engine cache issues

[ceenikc]

I dont know what went wrong but when I shifted my React App to Google App Engine from Firebase hosting in production which is served using ExpressJs following the process mentioned in the docs and also have a rendertron middleware for dynamic rendering, I keep getting this error in the console "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <" and nothing is rendered and I just see a blank white screen. After researching and trying to figure out what went wrong, I think it has something to do with caching because the browser requests for wrong js and css bundles and after disabling the cache everything works fine.
But the thing is I am not using service workers and the cache control header received is cache-control: public, max-age=0.
Also this problem is there only when I try to access the base route and if I try to go to some other route the app loads fine.
I never faced this problem in Firebase hosting.

Hi @ceenikc ,

I converted this one to an issue and edited the title a bit, hopefully we'll find someone with GAE experience!

i had and just fixed a similar issue, I had to set the homepage parameter in the react projects package.json.

{
  "name": "frontend",
  "homepage": "https://www.hustlehub.ca/"
