Description
Hi, thanks for the great work of this plugin.
It seems not working well with html-webpack-plugin v4. The compilation missing to refresh assets after assets updated.
I created a repo which can reproduce the bug. Hope it will help.
Reproducing steps:
- Run
npm start - Update
assets/dll.js - Watch the webpack log, it does re-compile, but no assets updated.
- Open the
dist/dll.js, it's stale. (thedevServer.writeToDiskoption is just for convenience of debugging)
More info:
When webpack first started, the assets do be added:
Version: webpack 4.42.1
Time: 334ms
Built at: 04/10/2020 10:18:50 PM
Asset Size Chunks Chunk Names
dll.js 19 bytes [emitted]
index.html 263 bytes [emitted]
index_bundle.js 360 KiB main [emitted] main
Entrypoint main = index_bundle.js
But when assets file updated, the re-compilation missed the assets.

Version: webpack 4.42.1

1 asset
Entrypoint main = index_bundle.js
33 modules
ℹ 「wdm」: Compiled successfully.
And when I downgrade the html-webpack-plugin to v3, it works again.

Research direction
Run the linked reproducing repository with npm start, then update assets/dll.js and compare the webpack logs and dist/dll.js output with html-webpack-plugin v4 and v3. Trace how the plugin handles asset updates during recompilation; done means the refreshed asset is written to dist/dll.js when using v4.
