Aurelia, running webpack-dev-server --hot throws error on App Hot Update - 'Cannot read property 'status' of undefined'

Question

I downloaded a fresh copy of the Aurelia Navigation Skeleton github repo . I execute the npm run server:dev:hot, which is mapped to cross-env NODE_ENV=development npm run webpack-dev-server -- --inline --progress --profile --watch --hot.

The webpack-server starts fine, I see in the console [HMR] is waiting for WDS signal. Everything is fine until I make a change in in a js file to trigger HMR refresh. Then I see an error/warning in the console.

I haven't modified anything in the code from the repo.

Answer 1

Well, it turns out that this is expected. Aurelia doesn't have HMR enabled yet.

Can't wait for the update.
