webpack-dev-server stops picking up changes.

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I’m not sure what’s wrong but if Elm runs into an error and it can’t compile, it seems that webpack stops picking up changes after that. This happens with the elm-webpack-starter webpack.config and any other ones I try with elm + webpack. Any thoughts?

You can see my current webpack.config.js here: https://github.com/sircharleswatson/elm-architecture-hop/blob/master/webpack.config.js

Is this fixed for everybody still? I’ve been seeing the same behavior on 3.0.6. The first error message will show up just fine, but any subsequent errors are ignored (forcing me to ctrl-c and re-run webpack to see the next error).

What’s interesting is that if I see an error, fix it, and there aren’t any new errors it will successfully compile without having to restart webpack.

Any ideas as to what could be going on here? I’m more than happy to provide more information if it’ll help.
