Retry mechanism for when loading exports from a module fails

[daniel-cottone]

We are looking into adding retry capabilities for when loading modules fails. We came across the RetryPlugin which appears to hook into the loadEntryError lifecycle, triggering when loading the entrypoint fails. However, during our testing we can see that this does not retry if loading the entrypoint is successful, but loading an export from the module fails (such as HTTP request failure for the relevant JS file).

Is it possible to create a retry mechanism for this situation? If not, is it on the roadmap to implement? Our current solution is to just attempt to reload the page, which is a poor user experience and causes problems if page state does not persist through page reload.
