Description
There's a good chance this is user error, but I cannot get webpack-dev-server to update my bundles correctly.
I've installed both webpack and webpack-dev-server globally using npm. I can bundle perfectly fine with the webpack command, but the webpack-dev-server is not working correctly. The terminal output indicates that the bundle was successful but nothing is written to the file system. The live reload and app status work as intended, but upon reload it serves the contents of the file system which are out of date.
Here's a simple example in which I'm having trouble:
index.html
<html>
<body>
<script src="/bin/init.js"></script>
</body>
</html>webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
entry: "./src/init.js",
output: {
path: "bin/",
filename: "init.js",
},
devtool: "sourcemap",
debug: true
};src/init.js
console.clear();
console.log('initialized.');webpack-dev-server output. This does not write anything to the file system.

webpack output. This does write the bundle correctly.

I'm running Windows 8.1, and I've tried using older versions (1.2.7 and 1.2.1) of webpack-dev-server. Any help would be appreciated!
