How to force recompile?

• babel-plugin-preval version: 1.4.1
• node version: 8.1.3
• npm (or yarn) version: npm 5.2.0

Relevant code or config

const result = preval`
  const fs = require('fs');
  const path = require('path');
  const content = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'file.md'));
  module.exports = content.toString();
`;

console.log(result);

What you did: I ran the code above, to export contents of file.md.

What happened: when I modify file.md the result of preval didn’t change when I tried to compile it again. Maybe I’m missing something?

Reproduction repository: demo

Problem description: preval probably doesn’t see the reason to recompile because its tagged template literal didn’t change.

Suggested solution: I don’t know. 😅

Another workaround is clearing out the babel cache folder (default at ./node_modules/.cache/babel-loader before build, my scripts example

  "scripts": {
    "start": "yarn clear:babel-cache && next",
    "build": "yarn clear:babel-cache next build && next export",
    "clear:babel-cache": "rimraf -rf ./node_modules/.cache/babel-loader/*"
  }

For me this directory did not exist; my default cache was located at ~/.babel.json (file contents are cached in the JSON). Hopefully this comment saves someone the time it took for me to track that down.
