do i need to both assets:precompile and webpack-dev-server on dev environment or is webpack-dev-server just redoing the precompiling because that's what it looks like it's doing and to this day i have not met a person who can tell me what webpack does in mastodon without contradicting themselves
@squirrel I think webpack-dev-server is all you need for dev, and I think it watches for changes and recompiles on the fly.
But what do I know, I can't even get the %*@(%*ing dev server to run.
@InspectorCaracal i tried changing stuff and the webpack dev server is basically as fucking useless as just a standard file server serving from the packs/ folder i think because it does not do jack shit on the fly
then i tried precompile again while webpack was still running and it went fucky wucky
i wonder if the mastodon dev team knows how to do anything other than just toss dependencies at things blindly
