How to set path to other server (just like http://localhost:3000/__webpack_hmr)

[chentsulin]

In my electron project https://github.com/chentsulin/electron-react-boilerplate/tree/react-transform, I should request to http://localhost:3000/__webpack_hmr, but It will automatic polling to file:///__webpack_hmr.

GET file:///__webpack_hmr net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

I only see path can be set as options, but path=http://localhost:3000/__webpack_hmr not works. Is there any other options can get this done?

You should be able to set the full path in https://github.com/chentsulin/electron-react-boilerplate/blob/react-transform/webpack.config.development.js#L16

This has worked for others in the past, so if you're still having issues it must be electron related - I would recommend trying to create an EventSource connection manually in the console to test.

'webpack-hot-middleware/client?path=http://localhost:3000/__webpack_hmr' <- this one works now. Not sure why doesn't works previously...Thanks your instant reply! : )

By using this line 'webpack-hot-middleware/client?path=http://localhost:3000/__webpack_hmr' I got the message [hmr] connected. But after I made some change in the code, [hmr] is not requesting to localhost to retrieve the hot-update.json and then it shows cannot find update (full reload needed) warning. How can I make react-hot-middleware to look for hot-updates in localhost ?

@tahmidsadik112 Do you have defined publicPath? See my example
