Fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin: New files or overwritten files problems

[patroza]

I'm receiving the following error when I add new files, refer them, delete or overwrite files, e.g on git branch switch, and it requires me to fully restart the webpack process:

Compiling...
packages\react-app-rewired\node_modules\fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin\lib\service.js:22
        throw error;
        ^

How can this be prevented? Or at least ignored, so that it can recover?

[danielpza]

hello, got the same problem ... any updates ?

[TdyP]

Same problem here.
And the watcher doesn't recover afterwards, so I have to kill and restart it, which is pretty annoying

If you'd like to submit a PR to address this we'll take a look.

Same issue in our project. Moreover, the checker service crashes from time to tome even when I'm working on unit test files, which are excluded in tsconfig:

/app/node_modules/fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin/lib/service.js:22
throw error;
^

It's really annoying, have to restart webpack...

[jannikbuschke]

For me this type of crash happens regulary even though I just edit normal source files (under /src).
No file adding or removing, just plain text editing.

[workventure-ashish]

So annoying... :(

[CloneXpert]

I've been having the same issue, every time I add a new tsx file and reference it somewhere.
It's very annoying and slow to restart it every time.

Does anyone have a better workaround for this?

Looks like this issue is fixed as from v0.4.5 thanks to commit https://github.com/Realytics/fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin/commit/1137f4b7039d52d3e732e2c91b47078db9d29454
Personally, I'm using it through create-react-app-typescript which relies on v0.2.8. As this project is archived in favor of regular create-react-app, I'm stuck and will have to migrate to CRA to get this working.
