Using webpack4, why not send the generated file in the list after clean-webpack-plugin clears the file?

when using webpack4, the clean-webpack-plugin plug-in is used. Normally, use the webpack command to package. The configuration file is as follows:

const ExtractTextPlugin=require("extract-text-webpack-plugin");
const webpack=require("webpack");
const HtmlWebpackPlugin=require("html-webpack-plugin");
const CleanWebpackPlugin=require("clean-webpack-plugin");
const config={
    entry:{
        app:__dirname+"/src/app.js",
        main:__dirname+"/src/index.js"
    },
    output:{
        filename:"[name]-[hash].js",
        path:__dirname+"/dist"
    },
    mode:"development",
    devtool:"source-map",//source map
    devServer:{//webpack
        contentBase:"./dist",//webpack-dev-server
        port:"8383",//
        inline:true,//true
        historyApiFallback:true,//HTML5 history APItrueindex.html
        hot:true//
    },
    module:{
        rules:[
          {
              test:/\.css$/,
            use:ExtractTextPlugin.extract({ //lesscss
                fallback:"style-loader",
                use:[
               {loader:"css-loader",
                options:{
                  modules:true, //css modules
                  localIdentName:"[name]__[local]--[hash]"// css
                }
               },
               {loader:"postcss-loader"}
            ]
            })
          },
          {
              test:/\.js$/,
              use:{
                  loader:"babel-loader",
                  options:{
                      presets:["env"]
                  }
              },
              exclude:/node_modules/
          }
        ]
    },
     plugins: [
    new CleanWebpackPlugin("dist/*.*", {
      root: __dirname,
      verbose: true,
      dry: false
  })
  ]
};

module.exports=config;

at this time, due to the role of clean-webpack-plugin, the previous files will be cleared before packaging, and a new file with a hash value will be generated, as shown in the following figure

, why is that? How can I see it?

devserver does not generate static files, but keeps them in memory and can only be accessed through the port.


dev

there are no static files
