Webpack-hot-middleware: Full reload not working when module does not support HMR

[lvbeck]

I use express server and I set reload option to true:

    var webpackDevMiddleware = require("webpack-dev-middleware");
    var webpackHotMiddleware = require('webpack-hot-middleware');
    var webpack = require("webpack");
    var webpackConfig = require("./webpack.config");
    var compiler = webpack(webpackConfig);
    app.use(webpackDevMiddleware(compiler, {
        watchOptions: {
            aggregateTimeout: 300,
            poll: true
        },
        publicPath: webpack_config.output.publicPath,
        stats: {colors: true},
    }));
    app.use(webpackHotMiddleware(compiler, {
        log: console.log,
        path: '/__webpack_hmr',
        reload : true
    }));

I get a warning after code changes:

[HMR] The following modules couldn't be hot updated: (Full reload needed) 
This is usually because the modules which have changed (and their parents) do not know how to hot reload themselves. See http://webpack.github.io/docs/hot-module-replacement-with-webpack.html for more details.

the warning is clear but the I can not see any full page reload in case my module does not support HMR, somehow the performReload function is never called? why?

here is my log:

The reload config needs to be set on the client in webpack config - using the querystring of the entry item: https://github.com/glenjamin/webpack-hot-middleware#config

Just to give an example:

...
export default validate(merge(baseConfig, {
  debug: true,

  devtool: 'eval-source-map',

  entry: [
    `webpack-hot-middleware/client?path=http://localhost:${port}/__webpack_hmr&reload=true`,
    'babel-polyfill',
    './app/styles/main.less',
    './app/index'
  ],
