How do I invalidate the cache of import?
I have a function that installs missing modules when an import fails, but the import statement seems to preserve the failure while the script is still running.
import('some-module').catch(
// this catch will only be reached the first time the script is run because resolveMissingModule will successfully install the module
() => resolveMissingModule('some-module').then(
// again, this will only be reached once, but it will fail, because the import seems to have cached the previous failure
() => import('some-module')
)
)
The only information I found in regards to import caching was this documentation, which does not tell me where the “separate cache” used by import can be found.
No require.cache
require.cache is not used by import. It has a separate cache.
