Interface change doesn't trigger change in webpack

[andreyctkn]

For example:

1. clone this starter kit https://github.com/AndreyUtka/angular-typescript-starter-kit
2. run web pack dev server
3. Make some change in interface

export interface IHelloScope {
    displayName: string;
    style: Object;
}

->

export interface IHelloScope {
    displayName: boolean;
    style: Object;
}

In this case, it does not trigger update process.

The main question is why it does not trigger an update when I made changes only in interfaces?

Thanks.

I am experiencing the same issue as well (interface changes not triggering webpack) with a different starter kit:

@chadaustin reported an issue via twitter that I believe is related: https://twitter.com/chadaustin/status/705542582189715456

Sorry for the delay on this. I'm planning on taking a look this weekend.

I think I may be experiencing this too but I'm not sure. Certainly I'm breaking things, fixing them and then having to re-kick off my watcher. No great hardship but it would be nice if I didn't have to do that every now and then.

There's a test for this kind of thing at https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-loader/tree/master/test/typeSystemWatch but there must be some case that is being missed.

Interesting, I see the same thing. Often the loader will stop seeing
changes to files, especially after you wrote bad code and there were
errors. I have to restart webpack to get it going again. Guess it's time
to build a specific test.

I've tried https://www.npmjs.com/package/awesome-typescript-loader and it handles this case perfectly
