[WDS] Nothing changed.

[aep]

const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
    devServer: {
        contentBase: path.join(__dirname, "dist")
    },
    entry: './src/app.js',
    output: {
        path:       path.join(__dirname, 'dist'),
        filename:   'bundle.js'
    }
};

app.js is empty.
When i now add random garbage to app.js (be it correct syntax or not), dev-server correctly spots the change and starts compiling, but apparantly not the file i just saved.

webpack: Compiling...
Hash: 5a194bf652a9d1f48771
Version: webpack 2.2.1
Time: 33ms
chunk    {0} bundle.js (main) 300 kB [entry]
   [36] ./src/app.js 60 bytes {0} [built]
     + 85 hidden modules
webpack: Compiled successfully.

the hash does not change, no matter what i put in app.js

and chrome dev console says:
[WDS] Nothing changed.

and manually GETing /bundle.js shows its still serving the old file.

However, when i just restart the server, the hash changes and the new content is used.

This is a usage error, please ask on stackoverflow, you'll get better help there.

@theBull because most folks will benefit from learning how something works versus being fed answers. given the age of this issue, I'd also wager that keez can tell it's user error based on given input and output, but can't say specifically what it is given the limitation of info in the issue. Hashes are also an issue with webpack proper, rather than webpack-dev-server.

I'll add that it appears you stopped by just to drop a comment that had no real purpose other than to try to paint keez as a jerk. We don't welcome that here.
