Doesn't work with webpack --watch

[johnborges]

Doesn't seem work with webpack --watch. Build runs, but my shell commands aren't. Has anyone tried this with --watch?

Can you share me your setup?

Same issue. I cannot use this plugin because it does not work as described and expected.
After start webpack onBuildStart, onBuildEnd and onBuildExit are executed. If I modify any js file then onBuildExit is executed BUT BEFORE (and not AFTER) webpack finished.

My config:

    plugins: [
        new WebpackShellPlugin({
	    onBuildStart: ['echo -e \n--> Webpack is running...'],
	    onBuildExit: ['echo abcccc'],
	    onBuildEnd:['echo -e --> Finished\n\n']
	})
    ]

command:
webpack --progress --colors --bail --watch

Output:

Executing pre-build scripts

--> Webpack is running...
 95% emitExecuting post-build scripts
--> Finished

I need to access to the bundle files. I think you need to use after-emit, since emit is triggered when Webpack starts emitting the files.

Okay, I could see the source code.
This plugin works properly!

If you need to access to the bundle file then you need to use onBuildExit.
You can close this issue.

Keeping this issue open. Need to readvise this pattern.
