Possible Bug

Repo example for issue #8419.

As stated in the issue, it happens that the contenthash changes while the file content stay fixed between builds. Here below is the result of running several times consecutively until get the error, 7 buids in around 20 seconds without any change to the source code shows the file changing from trial.main.7373d414d17dcd91e77f.js to trial.main.90f6742c6e777575c140.js. Notice that the number of runs to find the error is kind of random, might be 2 or 3 like more than 10.

I reduced to what it seems to be the simplest case to reproduce it, where it contains a package in node_modules (simulated with a "utils": "file:./utils") while if the content is inside a folder in src, I can not reproduce the error.

Note 1: I tried also with a JS version of the same example, and I can not reproduce the error. Then, I guess it is related somehow to ts-loader.

Note 2: I have compared the files generated with several tools (e.g., diff, cmp, stat, checksum, BOM existence) finding no difference at all. I stored these 2 files in the example folder, for further investigation.

How to reproduce

# to install the depedencies
yarn

# execute several times until see a different `contenthash`
yarn build

Note 3: There is no cleanup between builds, the results are collected in tmp folder.
