AEM Sidekick customization issue

Hi,

I have added a config.json file under the /tools/sidekick directory in my root folder. Inside the file, I have added the plugins. After that, I pushed my changes to the main branch of my GitHub repository. The customizations should be available, but I am not able to see those changes. I have cleared the cache and reloaded the page, but I still cannot see the updates. Could you please provide a solution for this issue?

 

This my data inside the file:
/tools/sidekick/config.json

 

{ "project": "AEM Franklin EDS", "plugins": [ { "id": "google-assist", "title": "Google Assist", "environments": [ "edit", "dev", "preview", "live", "prod" ], "url": "https://www.google.com/search?q=edge+delivery+services", "passConfig": true, "passReferrer": true, "excludePaths": [ "**/fr/**" ], "includePaths": [ "**.docx**" ], "isPalette": true, "paletteRect": "top: 50px; bottom: 10px; right: 10px; left: auto; width: 400px; height: calc(100vh - 60px)" }, { "id": "tools", "title": "Tools", "isContainer": true }, { "containerId": "tools", "id": "localize", "title": "Localize", "environments": [ "edit", "dev", "preview", "live", "prod" ], "url": "https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/translator/business/translator-api/", "passReferrer": true }, { "containerId": "tools", "id": "youtube", "title": "YouTube", "environments": [ "edit", "dev", "preview", "live", "prod" ], "url": "https://www.youtube.com/@AEMGeeks", "passReferrer": true } ] }

 

 

Thanks,

Typically, you should be able to make this change in a feature branch, and then configure the sidekick to "point" to that feature branch. That's how I've done this, to see my changes.

Hi @raf-winterpacht ,
I have done that before with feature branch only. It doesn't work. Then I committed to main branch still not working. I didn't get about "point" that you mentioned. It is by default process right with this "https://feature--franklinsite--user.name.aem.page"

Could you please let me know if there is any other ways to solve this issue?

Thanks,

Aside from the Google Assist saying it couldn't load, I copied your code and brought it into my feature branch. It seems to work as expected. So there must be something else not happening there:
