Delete files on watch not working in Webpack 2

[jewbetcha]

Cleaning of files works perfectly every time I build, or start the watch function, but when watching and editing files I just end up with a ton of files after every re-compile. I'm using option watch: true but it seems to have no effect. Also using webpack 2.

My config:

new CleanWebpackPlugin('./dist/*.*', [{
            root: __dirname,
            watch: true,
            verbose: true
        }])

Fixed it by changing my paths to clean and options into their own array/object respectively and then passing into the plugin.

i.e.

let cleanPaths = [
    './dist/*.*'
];
let cleanOptions = {
    verbose: true,
    watch: true
}

new CleanWebpackPlugin(cleanPaths, cleanOptions)
