Mangled output

[jknight12882]

In multi compiler mode with a shared cache, I am getting the following mangled output.

{
  "common_en-US.js": "common_en-US-cbe78523083d0159240f.js",
  "common_en-US.js.map": "common_en-US-cbe78523083d0159240f.js.map"
}  "common_fr-CA.js": "common_fr-CA-2cf11bd51dc92d8b0ee2.js",
  "common_fr-CA.js.map": "common_fr-CA-2cf11bd51dc92d8b0ee2.js.map"
}

This is inconsistent, sometimes the file is correct, sometimes it is as above

I'm also occasionally having the same issue. One build will be fine, the next will have a bad closing brace in the middle of the list.

I know it won't be easy (and I'm not sure if feasible... :/), but it would be a great help if you could send me a failing PR reproducing the issue

[mastilver]

I'm reopening this one as I'm reverting the earlier fix, as it was causing another issue...

[mastilver]

So i now understand better how this issue is happening:

It's caused by this: /~https://github.com/webpack/webpack/blob/ef6ab6820a74db730cfec6fd419d2c211d62c0bd/lib/Compiler.js#L343

What's happening, is that webpack is writing the same file multiple times

To prevent that, we need to use /~https://github.com/mafintosh/mutexify to lock: /~https://github.com/danethurber/webpack-manifest-plugin/blob/1d691af97b955cc8c1c8cd5b684e54a81c7d0a3d/lib/plugin.js#L161 and release it on after-emit event

I will now focus on 2.x release, but if anyone feels like it, they can send us a PR :)
