since the new update of Google Chrome (version 69.0.3497.92 (official build) (64-bit)) I can’t find the serviceWorker service in the Navigator anymore. Actually I could register my Service Worker as follows but now I get an error that serviceWorker cannot be found in the navigator:
if('serviceWorker' in navigator) { /* * * Register the Service Worker * * */ navigator.serviceWorker.register('sw.js').then(function(registration) { console.log('Service Worker Registered'); }); } else console.log('Your browser does not support the Service-Worker!');
How can I now use the Service Worker again, or how can I get it to run again for all Chrome versions?

Answer
Serve your page over HTTPS or use localhost
. Service workers require a Secure Context.
The value of window.isSecureContext
indicates whether [SecureContext]
features are visible or hidden. (This is true
on a file://
URL and the serviceWorker API will be visible, but it won’t work, of course.)
