watch:test doesn't work

[alvipeo]

I use 'npm run watch:test' and when it initially starts all tests run. When I change the file with a test and save it, nothing happens. So it doesn't react on code changes. It used to work before.

Update - this is what I get in about 10 sec:

might be related to your use of "awesome-typescript-loader": "^0.16.0-rc.0" I suspect the problem is with typescript perhaps related to microsoft/TypeScript#7444, how I wish that typescript could just do type warnings and strip them.leaving compilation to Babel..

[alvipeo]

No, that actually didn't help. Still having this problem. Overall, it's like a lottery now... :(
