build and watch produce different hashes

[srl295]

🐛 bug report

parcel build … --no-content-hash and parcel watch … --no-content-hash produce different filename hashes.

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

 npx parcel build --target=default --cache-dir=.parcel-cache --no-content-hash

🤔 Expected Behavior

Expect the same files with build and watch

😯 Current Behavior

build

$ npx parcel build --target=default --cache-dir=.parcel-cache --no-content-hash
✨ Built in 247ms
…
$ ls build/*

• build/index.2f8490e0.js
• build/index.2f8490e0.js.map
• build/index.89a9d63e.css
• build/index.89a9d63e.css.map
• build/index.html

watch

$ npx parcel watch --target=default --cache-dir=.parcel-cache --no-content-hash
✨ Built in 31ms
^C
$ ls build/*

• build/index.4ff28c68.js
• build/index.4ff28c68.js.map
• build/index.b5742bdb.css
• build/index.b5742bdb.css.map
• build/index.html

💁 Possible Solution

while [[ 1 = 1 ]]; do npx parcel build --target=default --cache-dir=.parcel-cache --no-content-hash; echo Hit Enter to Rebuild; read junk; done

Workaround: I might also see if I can mutate the parcel-generated index.html in memory to serve my purposes.

🔦 Context

I'm trying to iterate on the files and noticed that they didn't seem to be changing when using watch.

And for more context, I am loading the files from a VSCode extension webview, so I have a dynamically generated index.html I need to use that includes some additional pieces.

💻 Code Sample

package.json here - note, it's in an npm workspace.
