 `Rule.test` is a shortcut to `Rule.resource.test`. If you supply a `Rule.test` option, you cannot also supply a `Rule.resource`. See [`Rule.resource`](#rule-resource) and [`Condition.test`](#condition) for details.

+`Rule.type` sets the type for a matching module. This prevents defaultRules and their default importing behaviors from occurring. For example, if you want to load a `.json` file through a custom loader, you'd need to set the `type` to `javascript/auto` to bypass webpack's built-in json importing. (See [v4.0 changelog](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v4.0.0) for more details)
