Current behavior

I've just followed the steps of the documentation you have defined in the following link:

https://docs.nestjs.com/techniques/hot-reload

I'm running this command: npm run webpack but it closes, it returns me the prompt and it doesn't stay watching the files.

Therefore, whenever I add my *.ts files changes and they aren't being reloaded until the server restarts.

Expected behavior

It should stay watching my *.ts files changes and if I make a change if I reuse my API the changes should be reflected there without restarting the server.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

gabriel@roraima-tv:/var/www/studying/tera-ping-pong$ npm run webpack

    > [email protected] webpack /var/www/studying/tera-ping-pong
    > webpack --config webpack.config.js


    webpack is watching the files…

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

In the development process being restarting the server is not good to the productivity.

This is not a bug, but a feature request.
Nest itself doesn't support HMR, as it doesn't apply changes, but simply restarts the server as you can see.
