Description

Due to this commit add output.futureEmitAssets your plugin is not working anymore on new web dev server. Do you have a workaround?

Edit: I found the work around:

module.exports = {
    output: {
         ......  
        futureEmitAssets: false   // https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/8642/files due this change in webpack, writeFilePlugin is not working, we have to disable that option. This will not work on webpack 5
    },

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the webpack configuration and set output.futureEmitAssets to false as a workaround. Note that this will not work with webpack 5, so consider alternative approaches.
