Stale statsFile

[Dattaya]

🐛 Bug Report

I hot reload the server in my boilerplate and for some reason new ChunkExtractor({ statsFile }) loads old statsFile and it's not present in require.cache so clearModuleCache can't do anything much. Changing smartRequire in utils to JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(modulePath)); fixes the problem. I can send a PR if you're interested.

To Reproduce

Tested on Linux, might not work on other OSs:

• git clone https://github.com/Dattaya/ts-react-ssr-basis && cd ts-react-ssr-basis && npm i && npm start
• Open http://localhost:3000/ and view page source (Ctrl+U in Chrome)
• Modify common/components/App/index.tsx, save it, reload the page source and observe that script src= points to the old js file.

Expected behavior

ChunkExtractor.getScriptTags returns updated assets.

reopening, thought the issue was fixed by adding '@loadable/server' to webpackNodeExternals allowlist, but it's not the case. It was working, because I locally modified utils to leverage readFileSync.
I'll close this one, once #838 is released.

@Dattaya What was the resolution here? Or did you end up using a local modification?

[Dattaya]

@rtymchyk, sorry for the delayed response. I changed my mind, because usually issues are closed when they're fixed, not when included in a new release. In the meantime you can modify util.js in node_modules manually.
