EADDRINUSE on compile about webpackmonitor

[roachjc]

Hey @vedovelli, doing good. Your assumption is correct! Thanks for checking us out! Jon

Hey @barbier! Make sure that the port that's being passed to webpack monitor is not being used by anything else (if you're not specifying, default is 8081). Otherwise maybe it opened once and is still running? Typically you'd insert webpack monitor as a plugin on your production config and only periodically launch the dashboard. Hope that helps 😀

I'm pretty sure the port is used only by Monitor. It opens with my project, the error happens when I change something on my application, using React, and Webpack recompiles it.
Is there anything I can provide to describe better what's going on?

Thanks for the reply! :)

Ah OK I think I get it. Sounds like wpm is open and trying to open again on same port which causes the error. Try setting launch: false (or just leave out - false is default) and only setting to true specifically when you want to open the front end. Also the intention was really only to capture your production builds if you have two configs in your webpack config - the idea being that we are not so concerned about the state of the non-optimized dev builds. Hope that helps ... let me know if I can clarify further

Hello @roachjc ! How are you doing?! I hope fine!

Given your statement:

the idea being that we are not so concerned about the state of the non-optimized dev builds. Hope that helps

I assume Webpack Monitor is supposed to be used with production builds only, right? Thanks!
