I have deployed an application on the IC. Now I am testing to upgrade the canister in the project.this article to do so.
When I execute the command
dfx canister --network ic install --all --mode upgrade
it runs successfully and shows me something like this,

Committing batch.
But nothing get upgrade
Is the command not workable?
That because there’s no changes in the project and DFX doesn’t find any new assets to upload

But I made a changes in the frontend file (index.html), mainly for testing only…
Maybe you forgot to save.
If you see these lines in the log you posted,
/index.html (2750 bytes) sha a66b84a50397e4000ebca538f8327a5dea61e6d4474e10b2c9cad360a09f29eb is already installed

DFX calculated the hash for your index.html file and found no changes to the already present file, hence did not upload it again.
Also in your dfx.json file that lists all your canisters, the asset canister listed has a source entry.
Ensure that the changes you made are included there or compiles to an output that is included there

That is what my concern is, I am changing the content of the file and trying to upgrade it. But why does it responding to that?
**I have saved the file.

Does it work for you? I have delete everything from my index.html file and try to update it. It shows me the same msg and interestingly the frontend doesn’t change anything!
Do we need to run any other command after that?
Note: The dfx deploy works fine though. It change the required changes.
Use the dfx deploy command to register, build, and deploy a dapp on the local canister execution environment, on the IC or on a specified testnet. By default, all canisters defined in the project dfx.json configuration file are deployed.
dfx deploy runs these 3 commands. You can run them yourself:
dfx canister create --all
dfx build
dfx canister install --all
Looks like you are only running install. If you don’t run dfx build before it, it will not recompile your frontend into a new wasm that contains the changed code. That is what you’re probably running into

Bravo!! It works!
dfx canister --network ic create --all
dfx build
dfx canister --network ic install --all --mode upgrade
Thank you!!

I actually believe the asset canister Wasm doesn’t change when you change the assets to upload to it. The assets aren’t baked into the Wasm during build, rather dfx runs icx-asset to check if any assets changed and have to be uploaded/removed.
