Webpack Dev Server doing everything twice

Using freshly cloned copy of electron react boilerplate, I noticed in the logs that WDS logs seems to be called twice, for example:

Prerequisites

• [✓] Using yarn
• [✓] Using node 10.x (v12.16.1)
• [✓] Using an up-to-date master branch (commit hash 63cebabb467400c910acf51fa7a0b9285b7bff22)
• [?] Using latest version of devtools. See wiki for howto update (I assume this is current since its freshly cloned, this url seems to be broken)
• Link to stacktrace in a Gist (for bugs)
• For issue in production release, devtools output of DEBUG_PROD=true yarn build && yarn start
• Tried solutions mentioned in #400 (not an installation issue)

Expected Behavior

WDS should just do stuff like hot reloading and recompiling only once

Current Behavior

Webpack seems to be called twice, or have 2 instances or something, and seems to be recompiling every change twice. (see picture at top)

Possible Solution

I don’t really understand WDS but would like to learn more

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Git clone electron react boilerplate
2. yarn
3. yarn dev
4. Look at dev console

Context

Not quite sure, but it seems like unintended behavior.

Yes but I did a fresh clone just to confirm that this wasn’t caused by our code.

Your Environment

Hi @amilajack This issue is still persisted I run the fresh boilerplate and opened inspect window. As you see the above image, rendered twice time.

I don’t think it should break anything, devServer configured as inline, so it should inject the necessary modules for HMR. Also, this method is mainly used when you instantiate webpack-dev-server via nodejs api (and legacy webpack maybe?) If you find anything broken please tell me.

However as I stated on PR, I closed it for now as there is other issue with HMR, I’ll fix that too and resend that when everything is cleaned up.
