Running in webpack watch mode doesn't work after a recompile.

Running in webpack watch mode doesn't work after a recompile, this results in the __webpack_require__.ab being scrubbed from the output.js

This is my bad. RTFM.

@wesselvdv -- Which memo? I can't see anything referring to watch mode. Maybe I'm just blind!

@MynockSpit It's not referring to a watch mode, but to the cache mechanism introduced in webpack 5. You have to put the following in the plugins array in your config:

    plugins: [
      {
        apply(compiler: any) {
          compiler.hooks.compilation.tap(
            'webpack-asset-relocator-loader',
            (compilation: any) => {
              relocateLoader.initAssetCache(compilation, '');
            },
          );
        },
      },
    ]

Took me two days to figure out, so here's to 6 minutes for you.

Awesome, thank you!
