Don't work with concurrently and nodemon

[victorgarciaesgi]

I can't make it work with webpack --watch and concurrently

"scripts": {
    "dev": "concurrently --kill-others \"npm run clean && npm run server\" \"npm run dev-server\"",
    "server": "webpack-dashboard -- nodemon Server.js",
    "server-prod": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production nodemon Server.js",
    "dev-server": "webpack --watch --hot",
    "prod": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production npm run clean && npm run build-prod && npm run server-prod",
    "clean": "rimraf dist",
    "build-prod": "webpack --config config/webpack.config.prod.js --progress"
  },

Can you please create a minimal repository with code + install + steps to reproduce the error so that we can see it too? Thanks!

I think there is an issue with concurrently. Works fine with nodemon for me when I run the first script. In the second script dashboard never shows up.

"scripts": {
    "start": "webpack-dashboard -- nodemon server.js",
    "start-test-env": "concurrently \"gulp minify-css-dev\" \"webpack --config webpack_test.config.js\" \"export NODE_ENV=test && webpack-dashboard -- nodemon server.js\" 
}

As already discovered in #214 (shelljs) and #217 (nodemon), some libraries are incompatible with blessed, the terminal magic library webpack-dashboard we use.

Can you apply a change like I've done in #217 (comment) to remove webpack-dashboard completely and just run the simplest blessed sample to see if the issue is still there?

It would likely be something like:

    "server": "nodemon node_modules/blessed/example/simple-form.js",
    "server-prod": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production nodemon node_modules/blessed/example/simple-form.js",

I ran into the same issue with concurrently, however, adding --raw param to concurrently did a trick for me.

  "scripts": {
    "start": "concurrently --raw --kill-others \"nw public\" \"npm run dev\"",
    "dev": "webpack-dashboard -- webpack-dev-server --mode development",

Closing in lieu of #223

added -- --watch instead of just --watch fixed it for me.
