Webpack not watching when in docker

@howardchung Can you try this on your computer?

[howardchung]

Yeah, I tested and the events don't seem to be picked up by webpack-dev-server to trigger a rebuild. Not sure what the cause is.

[dartharaknus]

Can you fix this? I can't do it on windows.

[howardchung]

I don't know if it's a problem with our code that we can fix easily. My guess is that the file change events that Docker should generate (since the working directory is mapped to the docker container) aren't being recognized.

[howardchung]

Maybe this?

Also a suggestion to change webpack config:
webpack/webpack-dev-server#143 (comment)

First suggestion didn't work for me. I can't try the config change though since I don't see any watch option anywhere at all. Remember that we run npm start which runs webpack-dev-server --compress without any watch option given.

[howardchung]

It would be in the webpack.config.js file.

[dartharaknus]

Nope, there isn't.

[howardchung]

I mean, that's where it would go. It won't be one of the keys in the config object right now, you have to add it.
