   good question, not sure if it's necessary. I checked the require cache:

   console.log(require.cache);

   and I don't see it in there. I think it will only be in the cache if you load the module with require(). But in this case we aren't using require.

   as a simple example:

   var Module = require('module');
   
   function requireFromString(src, filename) {
     var m = new Module(filename, null);
     m._compile(src, filename);
     m.loaded = true;
     m.filename = filename;
     return m;
   }
   
   console.log(
     requireFromString(
       'module.exports = { test: 1}',
       '<some-uuid>'
     )
   );
   
   const x = require('<some-uuid>');  // this will throw an error
   console.log(x);
   
   console.log(
     'cache:',
     require.cache
   );
