Retry-plugin cache-busting option

[DeveshSapkale]

Clear and concise description of the problem

I am using webpack host with dynamic remote loading using module federation runtime Remote 1 webpack Remote 2 vite

Retry-plugin's script option doesn't provide "cache busting" option. If remote chunk is getting loaded from memory cache of browser and due to some reason (err_cahe_read_failure) happens and chunk load fails, retry plugin will keep retrying to get the chunk from memory cache which is not available or corrupted.

There should be an option in retry plugin where cache busting string can be provided.

Somewhat similar to https://rsbuild.dev/plugins/list/plugin-assets-retry

@ScriptedAlchemy can you please tag someone who is actively working on this part or if you can provide some workaround?

@DeveshSapkale Thank you! I'll take a look.

@danpeen did you got any time to have a look at above issue? Currently I have used below package in case of webpack.. https://www.npmjs.com/package/webpack-retry-chunk-load-plugin

But this is bundler specific solution which is against MF v2. I also have vite based remotes and RSbuild based remotes, and this solution is not scalable.

Can we have something like this plugin (options like this plugin) https://www.npmjs.com/package/webpack-retry-chunk-load-plugin

In MF retry plugin? Fyi @ScriptedAlchemy

chunk retry depends on the underlaying bundler runtime. we can retry on the remoteEntry file, but if theres chunks in the remoteEntry file that fail - thats beyond the scope of federation and would be something the bundler runtime would need to support, we can do it in rspack/webpack - but vite - it would require implementation changes outside of our runtime since bundlers pass us a object of references to promises, not script urls that we manully inject,

button: ()=>Promise(someBundlerResponsibility)

and we just do await button() -
