What exactly are you trying to do here? The bundle should be available under http://localhost:8080/dist/bundle.js, have you tried that?

Also, as the issue template said, please ask those kind of questions on Stack Overflow. You'll get better help there.

after run gulp webpack-dev-server

cannot fount bundle.js in my workdir and http://localhost:8080/dist/bundle.js return 404

[SpaceK33z]

webpack-dev-server will not put your bundle.js in your workdir, it will compile your files in-memory. I just now notice that you have commented out this part:

// publicPath: myConfig.output.publicPath /* '/dist/' */

Can you try changing that to publicPath: '/dist/'?

thanks ,
it is my fault.
http://localhost:8080/bundle.js it is work.

notice myself

Hi. So how can we make the bundle show up in disk instead build in memory? Any suggestion?

[craigmiller160]

Webpack Dev Server won't ever put the bundle on disk. It's not supposed to. Use the normal webpack production build to accomplish this.
