Expected Behavior

Successfully compile code, and render application in IE 11

Actual Behavior

Successfully compile code and render application in all browsers except IE 11(maybe <11 too)

Reproduces only with dev server and browser sync. Currently i am receiving error with message

SCRIPT5007: Unable to get property 'call' of undefined or null reference

the line looks like

modules[moduleId].call(module.exports, module, module.exports, __webpack_require__);

When i disable commonChunksPlugin i am receiving error

SCRIPT5009: 'webpackJsonp' is undefined line 1

Works in IE if built for production (first part of config with enabled uglify plugin)

[shablenko]

As mentioned in #1278
Build works with dev-server 2.9.7

[pajasevi]

I have a similar issue. ansi-regex dependency breaks IE11 because it contains:

module.exports = () => {
	const pattern = [

Please fix this.

[paveleremin]

+1 have same issue, it's because of arrow functions in code

Hi! As you already noticed, this is already tracked in #1278. You can help the maintainers of this repo by closing this issue and 👍:ing the other one!

Also see my analysis of the problem here: #1278 (comment)

Luckily, we can just go back to 2.9.7 for the time being :)

[SpaceK33z]

Published webpack-dev-server@2.11.1 with the fix.

[houzhitaohzt]

+1 have same issue, it's because of arrow functions in code
module.exports = () => {
const pattern = [
'[\u001B\u009B][\#;?](?:(?:(?:[a-zA-Z\d](?:;[a-zA-Z\d]))?\u0007)',
'(?:(?:\d{1,4}(?:;\d{0,4})*)?[\dA-PRZcf-ntqry=><~]))'
].join('|');

return new RegExp(pattern, 'g');
