Branch deploy preview

I am trying to create a staging environment configuring a branch deploy as per instructions here: Site deploys overview | Netlify Docs

Steps I took:

  1. created a “staging” branch and pushed to github
  2. configured settings for “Build & deploy” > “Branch deploys” to add the staging branch. Radio button is selected for “Let me add individual branches”
  3. Committed a small text change to index.html
  4. The “Deploys” page shows the branch-deploy successfully deploying. the staging@{git-hash} link correctly shows the changes made to index.html

But. Neither the deploy preview for this branch-deploy, nor the “https://staging--thirsty-hopper-67add4.netlify.com” URL displays the changes I committed to the branch (I can’t tell whether that url is displaying the master branch or an old commit of the staging branch)

Things i’ve tried:

  • retrying the deploy and selecting ‘clear cache and deploy site’
  • publishing the branch deploy
  • waiting for 30 minutes, just in case a cache needs to expire
  • clearing my browser cache and trying other browsers

Have I understood the workflow correctly, have I missed some config?

UPDATE: The same is happening for the master branch. I turned off auto publish, committed a small change to the master branch but the deploy preview shows the old version despite the deploy details “git diff” link pointing to the correct change.

UPDATE2: here are the x-nf-request-ids:
staging (staging branch): 7131ce21-4d20-49e8-b326-85e511547b6b-8245553
production (master branch): fc96fa1f-ec91-4ded-b308-90502a8c239e-1014570

Hi, @odi-robot, for the x-nf-request-id 7131ce21-4d20-49e8-b326-85e511547b6b-8245553 I show the URL requested was:

https://staging--thirsty-hopper-67add4.netlify.com/

This served the deploy below:

This was the published deploy for the staging branch at the time the HTTP request occurred (Tue Mar 3 09:50:33 PST 2020).

You can download the files in those branches to see the versions by using the download deploy button in the following screenshot:

Do the files in those deploys show the changes made? If not changes were made in the repo which do not show in the deployed files?
