[Anna Costalonga]

hello, I encounter this problem when trying to launch hivemind for the first time in part 1 of the tutorial. The webpack-dev-server cannot start,

Hi! There is in fact an issue with webpack-dev-server and Rails 5.1.5, we are trying to investigate and will keep you updated

[Andy Baranov]

Perhaps, you can try downgrading webpack-dev-server as described here rails/webpacker#1303

[Anna Costalonga]

thanks @progapandist I will try :)

[Andy Baranov]

yarn upgrade -D webpack-dev-server@^2.11.1 just worked for me, seems to be the only solution till the incompatibility with 5.1.5 is fixed

[Andy Baranov]

Hope it worked! Feel free to re-open the issue if necessary

[Anna Costalonga]
