How to get Service Worker working on Chrome Lighthouse?

Question

I am trying to audit my application on Chrome Lighthouse, but I can't get Service Worker working. It is registered and running with no error, but when I try to run Lighthouse it gets stuck and console log the fallowing error:

Service worker not registered  DOMException: Failed to register a ServiceWorker for scope ('https://www.localhost.com/') with script ('https://www.localhost.com/sw.js'): Operation has been aborted

SW is called with:

    if('serviceWorker' in navigator){
    let sw = 'sw.js';
    navigator.serviceWorker.register(sw, {scope: "/"})
        .then(function(){
            console.log('Service worker registered.');
        })
        .catch(function(e){
            console.log('Service worker not registered ', e);
        })
}

In the manifest:

start_url: "/",
    scope: "/",

I also tried:

"../", "https://www.localhost.com/", "./",

I am running chrome with the flags:

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --ignore-certificate-errors --unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure=https://www.localhost.com

But, I also tried to run the application in a remote server with https and I got the same error.

Any help would be nice.

Answer 1

If I uncheck the clear cache option in lighthouse options it starts working.

Edit: As mentioned by Sean McCarthy below the correct name is "Clear storage"
