Can I use virtual module as entry point?

[axetroy]

const webpackConfig = {
      entry: "/path/to/virtual/file/module.js",
      plugins:[
        new VirtualModulePlugin({
          moduleName: "/path/to/virtual/file/module.js",
          contents: `// here is the javascript code`
        })
      ]
    }

I try it in webpack@4, It seem not work

ERROR in Entry module not found: Error: Can't resolve '/path/to/virtual/file/module.js' in 'xxx'

Ok. I haven’t tried that before. I should test it with webpack 2 to see if it has ever worked with this plugin. Let me know if you get a chance - should be easy to modify the example for webpack-2 in here to test. Thanks.

It works for webpack 3, but broken since webpack 4.
