javascript - 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 using npm uninstall but it's still not working.

Any ideas?

If your code isn't being recompiled, try increasing the number of watchers (in Ubuntu):

echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
