Code

Expected Behavior

Page should reload in iframe mode on changes.

Actual Behavior

Page does not reload on changes (console output does not update).

For Bugs; How can we reproduce the behavior?

reproducible test repo: https://github.com/Loonride/webpack-dev-server-iframe
Do npm start, go to http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/main.
Change something in src/index.js, the console output will not change and the message "App hot update." does not go away. Upon manual page refresh, the changes appear.

For Features; What is the motivation and/or use-case for the feature?

/cc @smelukov Do you already start it?

[alexander-akait]

@Loonride I think we should remove inline for next major release and remove inline client

Yes I agree

So i think we can close the issue, it was always buggy and looks nobody uses it
