v4 does not use updated non-React modules

[nwoltman]

Description

If a React module depends on a module that is not a React component and the non-React module is updated, the code is hot reloaded but the React module does not use the updated non-React module. This was working in v3 and seems like it should work automatically when using ES2015 modules.

Expected behavior

The React module should use the updated non-React module.
This was working as expected with react-hot-loader@3.1.3.

Actual behavior

The React module continues to use the old non-React module.

Environment

React Hot Loader version: 4.1.2, 4.3.0+

Irrelevant version info

1. `node -v`: 10.15.1 2. `npm -v`: 6.4.1

And

1. Operating system: Windows 10
2. Browser and version: Chrome 72

Reproducible Demo

https://github.com/nwoltman/rhl-bug-repro

Follow the instructions in the README. When you modify the sanitizeEmail function, the console shows that HMR worked, but when you type in the text input on the page, it seems to still be using the old sanitizeEmail function.

If you change the react-hot-loader version in package.json to 3.1.3 (and uncomment 'react-hot-loader/patch' in webpack.config.js) 4.2.0 (this bug was temporarily patched in that version), it works as expected.

The problem - RHL do have a logic to "update" bound methods, and it is straightforward - If a method was changed - update it!
Here - there is no change the method itself, only in the external variable it uses. As result - we are not updating it.

The only possible change - always update all the bound/arrow methods.

Thank you. That was a major bug.

[nwoltman]

No problem! Great to see that you got a fix ready so quickly 😃

in v4, when I change the method in some components, the hot reload not work, but if I change its parent components methods which as props pass to it, the hot reload worked fine. I wonder is this the same problem above？

@TSL112358 - sounds like something different. But it sounds similar to #944
If you have an easy example - please share. I need it.

In our application, update a non-React module will cause page reload (not hot reload). Is this a right behavior? Or I'm using the wrong way.

react-hot-loader 4.1.2
node 9.11.1
chrome 66
macOS 10.13.4

If "propagation" change bubling will not "hit" hot (or module.hot) - it will trigger will page reload.
This is very handy, when you are updating something that could not be hotreloadable, redux store, for example.
Just double check console output.

@theKashey Is there any way for me to use this updated code that has the fix?

[theKashey]

We will release a new version today 🤞

[nwoltman]

Fixed in version 4.1.3 🎉

[theKashey]

Sorry breaking this back.

@theKashey can you say how we can help with development to fix this issue?

In short - #1138
I just need some free time to start playing with it. Unfortunately free time is a problem.
