babel-plugin-react-css-modules hash not matching the one in JSX - reactjs

Question

For all the stylename attributes in our code, the hash generated by the JSX is different from the hash generated in the stylename. This is essentially why the CSS is not applying. We are moving from react-css-modules (deprecated) to babel-plugin-react-css-modules. This is causing the issue.

The original babel-plugin-react-css-modules is long abandoned by its author, and effectively broken since mid-2020 when css-loader#4 arrived. Good news, and shameless self-promo, I maintain its up-to-date and enhanced fork: #dr.pogodin/babel-plugin-react-css-modules.
