HMR not working when using bash on windows 10

[nionis]

This is an issue that occurs on HMR and is fixed by using polling in the webpackdevserver config, example:

const webpack = require('webpack'),
  WebpackDevServer = require('webpack-dev-server'),
  config = require('./webpack.config')

new WebpackDevServer(webpack(config), {
  publicPath: config.output.publicPath,
  // hot: true,
  historyApiFallback: true,

  //for bash on windows
  watchOptions: {
    aggregateTimeout: 300,
    poll: 1000
  },
}).listen(3000, 'localhost', (err, result) => {
  if (err) return console.log(err)
  console.log('Listening at http://localhost:3000/')
})

I assume we will have to wait for this ?

Hi, thanks for your report and nice information. Do we have a way to detect if it's bash on windows on Node ? In this case, I think we should support it as default.

watchOptions: isBashWindows() ? : {
   aggregateTimeout: 300,
   poll: 1000
} : null
