I could not get my webpack hot0reload config to work for the life of me, even though my config file had exactly what the docs suggested I use.
It turned out that I had modified the file
/Users/jack/code/oxnotes4/node_modules/@rails/webpacker/lib/install/config/webpacker.yml
instead of:
config/webpack.yml
If something isn't working, do a quick git status to ensure you modified the
right file. Plus be mindful when searching files to navigate to in your editor:
many systems can have files with the same name, just in different folders.
