I want my Webpack to reset everytime I change a file.
Currently I have a code like this:
watchOptions: {
aggregateTimeout: 600,
poll: true
},
(based on https://webpack.github.io/docs/cli.html#watchoptions-poll)
Which works, but not in the way I would like.
Expected:
Actual situation:
Any solutions / hints?
Or maybe it can't be done in Webpack?

Probably you coudn't understand how webpack works. It takes file from entry point.
webpack.config.js
{
entry: "./app.js",
output: {
path: __dirname,
filename: "bundle.js"
}
}
if entry file has dependencies, it recursively take all of them and compile to a single file like bundle.js for example. So if you make a small changes into your file (doesnt matter which one), webpack should recompile all changes and give you new bundle.js file. If you look at this link
you will see
Watch mode --
watch Watches all dependencies and recompile on change.
So your webpack works correct, it is impossible to get correct bundle.js file without compilation all your files
I hope it will help you.
Thanks
