contentBase in webpack.config is ignored

[wouterverweirder]

webpack: 2.x
webpack-dev-server: 2.1.0-beta.3
OSX 10.x

Current behavior:

When specifying a contentBase in your webpack.config file (and running webpack-dev-server from the command line, without any arguments), it is ignored & overwritten with the current path

Expected/desired behavior:

contentBase from the config file should be used

This bug was introduced by commit be9efda

The thing is: the default config defined by yarg create an argv["content-base"] so indeed, when you define contentBase via webpack.config.js devServer section, your option is overridden by the code testing the argv.
