No Hot reload import For Webpack 4 (draft - will provide Reproduction Repos in few days)

[Wakanlolz]

Describe the bug

Problem:
When running the server with npm run dev and adding a new component file, the hot reload feature does not detect and import the new component automatically. Instead, it requires stopping the server and restarting it for the new component to be recognized.

Environment:

• webpack: 4.46.0
• webpack-cli: 3.3.12

Observations:

• The hot reload feature is not functioning as expected when adding new component files.
• A workaround involves manually stopping the server and re-running npm run dev to incorporate the new component.

References:

• MR feat: support new component hot update for webpack #423(mentioning a fix for a similar issue in vue-cli, but not applicable to this webpack setup)
