generator-jhipster: webpack is not recompiling project on change

@deepu105 I think I found the problem,

I added this watchOptions to webpack configuration, it fixes the problem. I think webpack tries to watch lots of files and couldn’t manage it… If you think this is a fix I will be glad to pr…

    devServer: {
        contentBase: './target/www',
        proxy: [{
            context: [
                /* jhipster-needle-add-entity-to-webpack - JHipster will add entity api paths here */
                '/api',
                '/management',
                '/swagger-resources',
                '/v2/api-docs',
                '/h2-console'
            ],
            target: 'http://127.0.0.1:8080',
            secure: false
        }],
        watchOptions: {
            ignored: /node_modules/
        }
    },

I encounter the same issue, when using jhipster-registry project. Ping @PierreBesson as you have the same in your computer 😉

I use the fix watchOptions, suggested by @ygokirmak in webpack.dev.js file, and it works!!

    devServer: {
        contentBase: './target/www',
        proxy: [{
            context: [
                /* jhipster-needle-add-entity-to-webpack - JHipster will add entity api paths here */
                '/api',
                '/services',
                '/management',
                '/swagger-resources',
                '/v2/api-docs',
                '/h2-console',
                "/config"
            ],
            target: 'http://127.0.0.1:8761',
            secure: false
        }],
        watchOptions: {
            ignored: /node_modules/
        }
    }

So I’m pretty sure we should add this to our config, as it is safe to ignore /node_modules/

@ygokirmak I have same problem, i use this command resolve it.:sudo yarn start,I think it’s node’s permission problem.

thats strange I didnt think it was watching node_modules. So please PR

Thanks @ygokirmak - I’m really eager to test this!

If we are indeed watching node_modules, then that’s a great enhancement to our current configuration!!
