Webpacker: Disable HMR in Dev?

[relativityboy]

The app I'm writing really doesn't work well with HMR in develop. I need to disable it, but setting

~javascript
{
devServer: {
hot:false
}
}
~

In webpack/development.js or webpack/development.server.js has no effect. HMR is still running. There are no other instances of the word 'hot' in config/webpack ... what to do?

You mean live reloading on change? HMR isn't enabled by default.

Seems to be enabled by default when running webpack-dev-server. Anytime I mod a js file I get reloads on the client.

I've routed around it by using "webpack --watch"

@relativityboy Yepp that's live reloading which is enabled by default in dev server. Yes, you can use watcher in case you don't want to use dev server at all 👍

How do you use webpack --watch. Running that command just like that does not work for me.

[gauravtiwari]

@gnapse ./bin/webpack --watch --progress --colors

@gauravtiwari took a while to respond. For posterity:

I'd thought HMR & live reloading were essentially the same thing. I wanted both off.

Looks like webpack 2 supports turning off live reload with " --no-inline" is that right? And, is it supported in 3?
