I have a legacy app were we are trying to export some components with WP5 module-federation.

The plugin configuration is currently like this:

output: {
  filename: "[name].bundle.js",
},
plugins: [
  new ModuleFederationPlugin({
    name: "remote",
    filename: "remoteEntry.js",
    remotes: {},
    exposes: {
      "./TestExport": path.resolve(__dirname, "../src/TestExport"),
    },
    shared: {
      "react@17": {
        singleton: true,
          requiredVersion: deps.react,
        },
      },
    }
  ),
]

the webpack config file is in a config dir in the root folder, this is why we are exposing the component with path.resolve.

When compiling the code, the remoteEntry.js file is not generated and we can't import it in another application using module-federation.

I've tried creating an app and exporting something with module-federation and consuming it inside the legacy app and it worked, but the opposite doesn't work.
