The pgAdmin 4 uses webpack hardSourceWebpackPlugin which caches the
optimised javascripts in the .cache directory, and those will be used from
the .cache directory during rebundling of webpack module, so that only the
changed files will be processed on the next build in the development
environment, and rest of the files are being picked up from the cached
directory which makes the rebundling fast. But this is only helpful in the
development environment, so the patch to fix this already sent to the
pgadmin-hackers (Patch:
