Research direction

Start with the webpack rule shown in the issue and trace how workerize-loader applies its name option to the generated worker bundle. Reproduce the duplicate “worker” filename with the provided configuration, then verify that a custom name produces the expected filename without duplication.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I am using webpack with workerize-loader and this is my config.

rules: [
      {
        test: /\.worker\.js$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'workerize-loader',
            options: {
              inline: true,
              name: '[name]',
            },
          },

I put name in options so that my worker files are comeup with a proper name not a content hash.but this results in the word worker twice in the filename.

as you can see in above image worker word is coming twice.
