Service Worker not prompting to be registered - net::ERR_FILE_EXISTS

Question

I browsed through the other threads - there was no concrete answer.

I implemented a service worker for notifcations

http://docs.pushwoosh.com/docs/chrome-web-push

I checked everything - all scripts are in root, the keys are well implemented. However, I do not get prompted to allow notifs.

Console output reads:

GET https://mydomain/service-worker.js net::ERR_FILE_EXISTS

Note: I do have the correct URL (just changed it here).

What causes the service worker error? How do I fix this?

It isn't anything to worry about. See the internal bug report: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=541797 the TL'DR is that when Chrome tries to fetch a new SW if there is no change and thus nothing to install it throws this error message to indicate that state. There is nothing that you need to do.
