Caching issues with @parcel/resolver-glob

[silvenon]

🐛 bug report

I've found some caching issues and errors related to @parcel/resolver-glob when adding and deleting files in the glob path.

🎛 Configuration (.babelrc, package.json, cli command)

CLI command:

parcel index.html

.parcelrc:

{
  "extends": "@parcel/config-default",
  "resolvers": ["@parcel/resolver-glob", "..."]
}

🤔 Expected Behavior

Adding and removing files in globbed path should automatically update everything, including refreshing the page.

😯 Current Behavior

• adding new files inside the glob path doesn't refresh the page
• deleting a file inside the glob path causes a no such file or directory error that doesn't go away until I delete the cache (simply restarting Parcel doesn't work because the error gets cached), or if I add a new file

🔦 Context

I have a posts directory containing MDX files, so I'm importing them using import posts from "./posts/*.mdx" and rendering the post based on the URL, e.g. /post/my-post will render posts['my-post'].default.

💻 Code Sample

I created a repository where you can reproduce these issues, first start Parcel with npx parcel index.html. To reproduce the first issue you can add a new file in globbed, for example d.js, and see that the content wasn't updated, and that it still says "Loaded modules: a.js, b.css, c.js". d.js will be displayed once you reload the page manually. To reproduce the second issue delete any file in globbed, notice that the error doesn't go away despite refreshing the page or restarting Parcel, either delete the cache or add a new file in globbed.

🌍 Your Environment
