Not triggering reload when I save any module other than Main

I ran into this problem as well. I realized that it wasn't only not reloading but it was also not recompiling. It took a little digging but it appears that you need to do this:

{ loader: 'elm-webpack-loader', options: { /* your normal options and then */ cwd: '/path/to/source' }

Adding cwd: './' to my loader options fixed the problem.

Hi,

I tried to reproduce this issue here:
https://github.com/fluxxu/elm-hot-loader-issue-29
But HMR works on my side...
Could you try to break it so I can debug the issue?

Exact same problem.
I was using create-elm-app v0.4.0 but there have been a few releases lately that fix this issue.

@mattraykowski Ah yeah you're right, it's actually not even recompiling. However the cwd option didn't seem to fix my issue; saving the child component still doesn't trigger recompile.

@joanllenas I was using create-elm-app v0.4.0 as well, so I'll try upgrading and remaking my boilerplate.

@joanllenas that worked for me. I looked at the new config generated by create-elm-app v0.6.0 and copied some new things over.

It seems that the fix is to add forceWatch: true to the elm-webpack-loader options:

      {
        test: /\.elm$/,
        exclude: [ /elm-stuff/, /node_modules/, /MainCss\.elm/ ],
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'elm-hot-loader'
          },
          {
            loader: 'elm-webpack-loader',
            options: {
              verbose: true,
              warn: true,
              debug: true,
              pathToMake: paths.elmMake,
              forceWatch: true
            }
          }
        ]
      },
