How to handle compile errors in webpack-dev-server with nodejs

When I use webpack in nodejs, it can catch every compile error, the watching callback will be called every build end.

const webpack = require("webpack");

const compiler = webpack({
  // Configuration Object
});

const watching = compiler.watch({
  /* watchOptions */
}, (err, stats) => {
  // Print watch/build result here...
  console.log(stats);
});

But when I use webpack-dev-server, the listen callback only called once when the server started, its there any way to catch every compile error when use webpack-dev-server in nodejs?

const compiler = Webpack(webpackConfig);
const server = new WebpackDevServer(compiler, {
  stats: {
    colors: true
  }
});

server.listen(8080, '127.0.0.1', () => {
  // only called once
  console.log('bla');
});

finally solved this problem with plugin 

compiler.plugin('done',callback)

this callback will be called every build done.
