Copy-webpack-plugin: watch file not working in watch mode

[youngwind]

As readme says:

By default, we only copy modified files during a watch or webpack-dev-server build.

But it's not working in my project. Here is the webpack.config.js

var webpack = require('webpack');
var CopyWebpackPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin');
var path = require('path');

module.exports = {
    watch: true,
    entry: './deal/static/js/index.js',
    output: {
        path: './dist',
        filename: 'build.js'
    },
    plugins: [

        new CopyWebpackPlugin([
            {
                from: 'deal/page/index.html',
                to: 'index.html'
            }
        ])
    ]
};

PS: the index.html copied to the dist directory successfully, but can not watch the index.html.
Any suggestion will be helpful.

I'd enable debugging (info level) with the latest version of the plugin (v4.0.0). Are you using webpack-dev-server or --watch?

I have the same issue here
sorry seems it dose copy, just not showing it when not in debug mode

@Bnaya Thank you very much, I didn't realize that! Someone™ should add Something™ to the documentation about this :)
