Haul creating random folders in each run in project root

See original GitHub issue

Current Behavior

Haul is pacakging the bundle and is being successfully loaded in both iOS and Android. There is no issue with the build, but haul is creating random folders in project root, prefixed as haul-start- while running Haul via yarn haul start command.

Please refer the screenshot:

Expected Behavior

Haul should not be creating random folders each time it is being called, which would pollute the project root. If those folders are unavoidable either create single folder each time the command is run, which can then be added to .gitignore or provide option to the user to provide a path like /dist or /build to which these folders can be diverted.

Haul Configuration (webpack.haul.js)

import { createWebpackConfig } from "haul";
import path from "path";

export default {
  webpack: (env, defaults) => {
    const config = createWebpackConfig({
      // ...defaults,
      entry: `./index.js`,
      resolve: {
        // ...defaults.resolve,
        alias: {
          // ...defaults.resolve.alias,
          react: path.join(__dirname, "node_modules/react"),
          "react-native": path.join(__dirname, "node_modules/react-native")
        }
      }
    })(env);

    config.module.rules = [
      {
        test: /\.tsx?$/,
        loader: "ts-loader"
      },
      ...config.module.rules
    ];

    config.resolve.extensions = [
      ".js",
      ".ts",
      ".tsx",
      `.${env.platform}.ts`,
      ".native.ts",
      `.${env.platform}.tsx`,
      ".native.tsx",
      ...config.resolve.extensions
    ];

    return config;
  }
};
