Issue description

I got errors when using bundle analyzer wit the webpack dev server 4.

Error parsing bundle asset "d:\projects\devel\rankrocket\app\www\js\app.a49e5464.js": no such file

Webpack Bundle Analyzer is started at http://127.0.0.1:8888

This happens only, when running under dev server, regular build completes normally.

Debug info

I am using it as plugin with the following options:

You are on windows, but uses https://github.com/zdm/webpack-bundle-analyzer-issue-471/blob/main/webpack.config.js#L17 (i.e. /), please use path.resolve(__dirname, '/www')

[zdm]

I updated code to use path.resolve. Results are the same.

Under linux results are the same too.
The problem is not in the paths separators.

[alexander-akait]

Yep, I see, investigating

[alexander-akait]

@valscion Found a bug, we should use compiler.outputFilesystem, not fs to be compatibility with dev server and not only (because other plugins can override fs)

[valscion]

You mean this code?

https://github.com/webpack-contrib/webpack-bundle-analyzer/blob/194c62da11b4858982c5e1c374ce04010e893d3d/src/parseUtils.js#L10-L11

[alexander-akait]

@valscion Yes 👍

[zdm]

Is it fixable?

[valscion]

It's likely that it's fixable. It would require adding more test coverage to make sure the fix would not regress in the future and we don't have much tests for webpack-dev-server integration yet so it's not a straightforward task.

That's why I haven't had time to fix this yet. Feel free to try to fix it and provide a PR if it would be important to you for this bug to be fixed ☺️

[zdm]

This can be problematic for me because I am not in the context of this project.
I can help in testing.
Will wait, no other way...
