Why Output File Name Doesn't Include Content Hash From Webpack?

Question

Hi I have the following in my webpack prod config:

output: {
filename: '[name].[contenthash].js',
publicPath: '/container/latest/'
}

but the output does not include the content hash. My file is always named as main.js not main.[contenthash].js

I'm using webpack version 5.59.1.

I can't figure out the problem.

Use `hash` instead of `contenthash`, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62356238/get-webpack-to-output-the-generated-hash-to-a-config-file — Ali Yaghoubi, Oct 25 '21 at 04:04
@AliYaghoby none of them work. my webpack does not seem to recognise any of them. — Teddy McZieuwa, Oct 25 '21 at 07:47

I've seen the problem. I was running webpack.dev.js instead of webpack.prod.js.
