Hey guys, is it known that jsBrowserProductionWebpack gradle task doesn't update the distributions js file sometimes when in watch mode -t ?

Also. Have you considered using esbuild instead of webpack or additional supporting it? That one doesn't have dependencies, and it is between 1 and 2 orders of magnitude faster so not need for caching or incremental things: https://github.com/evanw/esbuild

theres really tons of js builders https://www.snowpack.dev

Didn't know that one, and don't know if has the esbuild properties, but webpack downloads lots of dependencies in the node_modules and it is a bit intrusive so any option with those properties would work for me. In any case, I should probably have commented that separately in other thread 🙂

What I'm interested is if some other people is facing the -t jsBrowserProductionWebpack issue, and if there are workarounds, or if I should report it in the bugtracker
