Hi
When i have set publicPath: '/' in webpack config and hit run in Visual Studio2017, browser starts up, waits for webpack until it completes project compile and then displays it. but at this configuration HMR does not work, it says 404 on *.hot-update.json

When I change to publicPath: 'dist/' in webpack config, browser starts up and stops loading page, it gives "404 localhost not found" . after webpack compiles project , then I have to manually write in browser http://localhost:1711/index.html and displays web page. at this time HMR works.

startup.cs config is:
app.UseWebpackDevMiddleware(new WebpackDevMiddlewareOptions { HotModuleReplacement = true, });

how can I make browser to wait for webpack compile finish?
app is Angular5 , webpack 3.11, AspNetCore2.
in case of AspNetCore1, publicPath: '/' and HMR works like charm.
thanks.
