webpack --watch isn't compiling changed files

Question

I tried running webpack --watch and after editing my JS files, it doesn\'t trigger an auto-recompilation.

I\'ve tried reinstalling webpack

Answer 1

Possible solution: changing context to the app directory.

I had all my webpack config files in a sub folder:

components/
webpack/
 development.js
app.js

In webpack/development.js, set context: path.join(__dirname, '../') solved my problem.
