Not formatting webpack-dev-server start-up?

[alexandernanberg]

With my current set-up the start-up process with webpack-dev-server is not formatted like in your demos instead it looks like this

My webpack config

Have I configured it wrong or is it a bug? Would love for it to work like in the demos! 😄

I have exactly the same problem: Running webpack 2.4.1 & webpack-dev-server 2.4.5

Hello gentlemen!

Did you expect to see the screen get cleared just before the DONE notification?
Does it get cleared correctly on subsequent messages?

[alexandernanberg]

I was expecting to see something similar to this

The screen clears as expected but I'm not seeing the "Starting the development server..." text. Also not seeing the "Your application is accessible at http://localhost:3000"

[geowarin]

That's normal, the plugin has no easy means to know on which port the server is available.
You should manually add the compilationSuccessInfo for this to work

[alexandernanberg]

Ah so that message will be displayed every time it compiles successfully then? Thought it only displayed on start up/first compilation.

What about the "Starting development server..." log, similar issue?

[geowarin]

Yes, it is displayed every time the compilation succeeds.
Originally, we cleared the console for good so it was useful to have those info available every time.

Since #23, it's debatable.
I don't think "Starting development server..." is part of the plugin output.

Oh okay! Closing this then, thanks for your response!
