webpackOk causes JSON.parse exception in postmessage

See original GitHub issue

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? Report a bug

What is the current behavior? Webpack Dev Server sends a webpackOk message with an undefined data property. This causes a JSON.parse exception in postmessage which results in a console warning that while not service affecting, does somewhat inhibit debugging by cluttering the console log.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

What is the expected behavior? Properly format the webpackOk message to avoid the JSON.parse exception and console warning.

Please mention your webpack and Operating System version. Webpack 2.2.1

@amir-beheshty Not really. The issue I was having wasn’t with webpack-dev-server or even postmessage for that matter. The exception in my case was caused by another package I was using, called seamless.
